Express your interest in being a project host
There are benefits associated with hosting renewable energy projects. Express your interest in hosting a renewable energy project here.
Landholders are vital to the growth of the renewable energy industry in Tasmania. Hosting renewable energy developments can be an opportunity that complements existing land uses, can benefit the wider community, and provide an extra source of income.
We want to learn from past engagement undertaken in the north west. We acknowledge that there can be mistrust and negative sentiment towards renewable energy developers who have not applied best practice community engagement.
The impacts of REZ on specific landholders are not yet known. The impact on individual properties will depend on the proposed location of projects, which would be determined by proponents through engagement with landholders and then formalised through subsequent landholder agreements.
We will ensure that landowners that fall within and surround the geographic boundaries of the Proposed REZ will be actively engaged to shape the finalised REZ and are informed of potential opportunities and impacts.
Landholders are under no obligation to be a renewable energy host and proponents will be expected to work with you if you are a neighbouring property holder to a wind or solar farm.
The establishment of a REZ does not mean your property will be acquired for renewable projects or that you have to take any action. The impact on individual properties will depend on the proposed location of projects, which would be determined by proponents through landholder engagement. Further community and targeted landholder engagement will be crucial to address concerns and provide clarity on property impacts, once the Government makes a decision on declaring a REZ in the north west.
