The Stakeholder Reference Group (SRG) is playing a key role in the establishment of Tasmania’s first Renewable Energy Zone (REZ).

The group consists of representatives from local government, interest groups and community. It is split across two geographically based groups to encourage active participation in workshops and limit travel for participants across a wide region.

The SRG’s role is to provide advice on important aspects of a future REZ, by providing us with a sense of place, informing us of community values and what is important to the north west when considering future renewable energy development. The group offers insights into how this development can provide meaningful and lasting community benefits.

Inputs and advice from the group will inform a Future Directions Paper to Government, which will be open for broader public consultation during 2024. These inputs will assist Government in decision making about establishing Tasmania’s first Renewable Energy Zone.
