As part of the commitments associated to Paling Yards wind farm project, a Community Engagement and Benefit Sharing Plan will be implemented.

This plan will be designed based on reference guides such as the ones published by DELWP and the Clean Energy Council. Best practice community engagement is a core part of our corporate philosophy and approach to business. For more information, please find our Corporate Responsibility Policy and Corporate Social Commitment:

We are continuously working to translate these principles into real, tangible action in the Paling Yards region through a clear plan for ongoing effective engagement as the wind farm is built and operated. Our approach is motivated by a strong commitment to engage with the Paling Yards community during all phases of the project, generate positive impacts, and maintain our social license to operate.

A Community Engagement Committee will be established , comprised of representatives from the local community, the Council and GPG in order to facilitate a direct, two-way channel of communication. The community will also be provided with continuous updates about the project and related community initiatives through monthly newsletters, media releases, local print media ads, information sessions, open days, participation in stalls at community events, etc.
