Project Consultation Plan

Epuron has developed a Community Consultation Framework as a guide to develop a specific and detailed consultation plan for each project. A consultation plan for this project will be available in the Project Downloads section as soon as it is finalised.

Objectives

The objectives of the community consultation are:

• To ensure the community is fully informed about the proposal, its likely impacts, and its likely benefits
• To ensure that the community has sufficient notice regarding upcoming events such as Open House days and exhibition periods
• To ensure that Epuron fully understands the local context for the proposal, including any local impacts that the proposal may have or opportunities that it could provide
• In that context, to provide multiple opportunities for dialogue in various forms to allow the community to receive information and provide feedback about the proposal
• To incorporate the feedback into the design of the wind farm where possible
• To explain where and how this feedback can be and has been incorporated
• To build positive, trust-based relationships with members of the local community

Epuron’s consultation process will also look at how best to maximise the local and regional benefit of the development.

While some will object to the proposal, it is hoped that the community will form the view that their collective interests are best served by assisting Epuron with the identification and mitigation of potential impacts of importance to the community.

Key Stakeholders

In addition to the key stakeholder groups identified in the Consultation Framework, the following community groups have been identified as key stakeholders to date: (further groups will be added as the project progresses)

• Boorowa, Yass Valley, Upper Lachlan Shire Councils
• Harden Murrumburrah & Binalong Land-care Group
