Get Involved
We want your input
Community consultation plays an important role in shaping these projects. We welcome all feedback and suggestions as we go through the formal environmental and cultural assessment process.
Traditional Owners and the broader community are being engaged throughout the process, so these projects not only deliver environmental, socioeconomic and community outcomes, but also respect cultural values.
The format of this engagement depends on COVID-19 restrictions, but proposed activities include face-to-face engagement with key interest groups, community information sessions, community and stakeholder presentations and site visits.
EES and ER engagement
As part of the environment assessment process, we have developed four consultation plans setting out our planned engagement approach and activities.
Download the consultation plan addendum to see specific opportunities to get involved over the next few months across all project sites. This addendum will be updated as needed.
Upcoming events
Meet our roving engagement officer at the following events. Come and say hello and learn more about our projects. All events are dependent on COVID restrictions.
Draft scoping requirements under review by DELWP
