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)
