Aunty Kathleen Walker was one of 300 residents evacuated by helicopter from Wujal Wujal in Queensland as Cyclone Jasper unleashed unprecedented floods in December 2023. Her community was left without power. Now they are building a microgrid.

Traditional Owners and advocates are calling for clear pathways to include First Nations communities in the clean energy sector.

Two Elders and one CEO from flood ravaged Wujal Wujal arrived in Brisbane today to ask Ministers and energy service providers to remove the barriers to realising a 40-year community-led vision for developing a renewable energy asset to ensure reliable affordable power.
