Nature & Renewables Toolkit


About 

The Nature & Renewables Toolkit was developed to help communities in NSW who are grappling with how to achieve a renewables rollout that protects and enhances the local environment, are done in collaboration with Traditional Owners and benefit communities.  

It aims to build up the capacity of communities and local environment groups to engage with the planning process for renewable energy developments in their regions in an informed, constructive way.  

It can be used by local community members or groups who are being impacted by the transition (whether located inside or outside of a Renewable Energy Zone), key stakeholders (such as local councils), and decision makers, to inform policy decisions.
