In August 2022, RE-Alliance, Cairns and Far North Environment Centre (CAFNEC), The Energy Charter and Powerlink Queensland conducted a kick-off workshop in Brisbane for environmental and energy industry leaders to come together and explore the challenges and opportunities associated with renewables and nature in the energy transition.
Two working groups were formed with two collaborative workstreams, including:
- Mapping project: to synthesise environmental and energy network information to determine optimal regions for low-impact renewable development. This workstream is led by CAFNEC and the Queensland Conservation Council.
- Better Practice Renewables and Biodiversity Guide: created through a codesign process with environmental and renewable energy sector stakeholders to inform where the opportunities for collaboration around better practice can be found. This workstream is led by RE-Alliance and the Energy Charter.
In-person launch
Following a series of environment and energy cross-sector workshops in Queensland hosted by RE-Alliance, the Energy Charter and Powerlink Queensland, we are thrilled to announce the launch of the Better Practice Renewables and Biodiversity: Opportunities for Collaboration Guide on 27 February 2024!
We’re proud to have partnered with RE-Alliance to launch the Better Practice Renewables and Biodiversity: Opportunities for Collaboration Guide alongside Andrew Bray, the National Director at RE-Alliance and Dave Copeman, the Director at Queensland Conservation Council, at the Energy Charter’s National Landholder Engagement Training. An event that brings local landholders, conservation and environmental groups, renewable energy developers and energy businesses together to share insights and tools for better practice.
Online launch
We were also excited for the online launch of the Better Practice Renewables and Biodiversity Collaboration Guide on 26 March 2024. Joining the discussion was Dave Copeman, Lu Allan from RE-Alliance, Rosie King from Energy Estate, Kiara Bowles from Powerlink Queensland and our CEO, Sabiene Heindl.
In this online event, we heard more about the Opportunities for Collaboration Guide, the collaborative efforts of Queensland environmental and conservation group representatives and energy businesses as well as a more detailed conversation about the purpose and application of the Guide. Watch the recording below.
