DELIVERING Renewable Energy Projects

Renewable energy projects are an exciting, yet challenging type of project that is happening across Queensland. What can a proponent, local government or State government agency do to assist in the delivery of these vital projects?

A focus on Energy and Jobs from the Queensland government, as well as concentrated efforts for alternatives to fossil fuels has meant that delivery of renewable energy projects has become increasingly important. This seminar will provide views from a range of interested stakeholders and parties with experience in delivering these major projects across Queensland and Australia.

About the Series

Delivery of infrastructure, projects and outcomes are often the end of a long process of negotiation, assessment, re-working and hard work by all parties. But exactly how do we ensure that the delivery meets the intended outcome, or even that the tangible outcomes are actually delivered? This series will investigate and enlighten the audience about how planners and their built environment colleagues can ensure that housing, infrastructure, subdivision of lots and the like are actually delivered.

For this series, we have invited a range of speakers to discuss their approach to project delivery, their use of innovation and their tips and tricks that should be in every planner’s tool kit to ensure that the planning work eventuates with a realistic and tangible outcome being delivered. Don't miss this!
