At its Ordinary Meeting held on 26 March 2024 Council resolved to make minor amendments to the Renewable Energy Community Benefit Policy.
The Renewable Energy Community Benefit Policy (Policy) will support the promotion of benefit sharing strategies associated with the development of state significant and regionally significant renewable energy projects in the Uralla Shire Council Local Government Area (LGA) that:
• Secure off-site benefits for the community so that renewable energy development delivers a net community benefit;
• Ensure that the wider community shares in the benefits resulting from renewable energy development in the local government area; and
• Ensure that the costs and benefits of renewable energy development will be equitably distributed within the community and inter-generationally.
The amended Policy will be on display until 14 May 2024
