On and offshore renewables development - Getting the best from engagement, agreements, partnering, benefit-sharing
Many Traditional Owner groups are contemplating new proposed offshore wind and renewable energy developments on Land and Sea country.
Of primary concern is that rights and interests on Land and Sea are protected, consent has been obtained, and that family and community are participating in and garnering or generating significant benefits through energy projects.
This session looks at where First Nations groups can influence policy and process to ensure meaningful engagement and consent, sincere partnerships, and healthy equity shares.
SPEAKERS: Levi Lovett, Jamie Woods, Kerry Colbung, Keicha Day, Kathy Ridge (Facilitator)
What people should be looking for in strong agreements
Industry is learning that partnering with First Nations and gaining free prior and informed consent (FPIC) reduces risk, cost and delay.
Not doing so can lead First Nations people to hold decision-makers accountable for the consequences of their actions.
So how can we accelerate industry learning into practice?
This session looks at gaining free, prior and informed consent, the project approvals process, issues we're facing in negotiation, embedding First Nations outcomes in the Capacity Investment Scheme, and what needs to be in an ILUA and Agreements to deliver actual significant benefits to our people.
SPEAKERS: Jamie Woods, Shirley McPherson, Nick Llewellyn-Jones, Emily Gerrard, Lily O’Neill (Facilitator)
