On-demand webinar: Sustainable planning for renewable energy developments
In partnership with the Infrastructure Association of Queensland, RPS community engagement specialists present strategies for managing the cumulative impacts of renewable energy projects on communities as we accelerate towards net zero.
What are the long term effects on local communities?
With hundreds of new renewable energy projects likely to be built over the coming decades, we need to consider the long-term effects on local communities.
RPS community engagement specialists Alistair Kingston, Shaylee Cowan, and Crystal Serblan, joined with Owen Boushel from Tilt Renewables to explore this topic in a webinar hosted by RPS, in partnership with the Infrastructure Association of Queensland (IAQ).
Our experts discuss key issues to consider when managing cumulative impacts and share their experiences on best practice engagement.
