In a renewable energy project, the process to obtain a licence, engage early and demonstrate compliance can be quite complex. In this webinar, we will explore specific challenges associated with managing stakeholder engagement data throughout the planning phases of a project. The session will include a presentation on various frameworks employed in Australia and our expert host will demonstrate how a fit-for-purpose tool can help to manage more effectively your project and simplify your processes. Francis will guide you through the strategic use of advanced GIS tools designed to streamline renewable energy project approvals.

The webinar replay will be soon available.
