Committed to the community

Walcha benefits from the strength of its community. We are committed to reinforcing that strong sense of community and delivering a project that produces benefits for the whole community and the wider New England region.

We have been consulting with the landowners and wider Walcha community since 2004 so they understand the positive impact and benefits of the project. 

​As part of our commitment to the community, we have developed an innovative benefit sharing and ownership model for near neighbours, distant neighbours and the general community.

Our vision is to deliver a holistic, flexible and authentic engagement process with all landowners and community stakeholders. In order to deliver on our vision and commitment, we will keep stakeholders informed as the project develops. Our goals include: 
​

• Providing information about each stage of the development in a clear and timely manner.
• Being genuinely available to meet and talk to community members.
• Providing opportunities and platforms for communities to present local values and views, as well as raise concerns and queries.
• Seeking to understand fully the values and needs of the community and the businesses local to the project.
• Delivering economic development for Walcha and the wider New England region.
