Andrew Dyer, the Australian Energy Infrastructure Commissioner, is seeking your feedback as part of a review to enhance community support and ensure that electricity transmission and renewable energy developments deliver for communities, landholders and traditional owners.

Feedback is due by 5pm on Sunday, 1 October 2023 

The Review will consider community attitudes towards renewable energy infrastructure and provide advice on the best way to maximise community engagement and benefit in planning, developing and operating renewable energy infrastructure.

The Commissioner will have regard to perceived or actual impacts on First Nations, environment, agricultural land, emergency management, social, cultural, community, tourism, business and local industry. He will also have regard to community engagement and benefit sharing.

At the conclusion of the Review, the Commissioner will provide the Minister for Climate Change and Energy with a Report which may include recommendations about regulatory and legislative frameworks as well as government and industry policies and any other related matters.

The Report and government response will be made publicly available.
