Co-authored by the Clean Energy Council and KPMG, this is the first comprehensive national Guide on First Nations engagement, participation and benefit-sharing for renewable energy projects. The Guide has been co-designed with First Nations peoples and it unpacks and operationalises the First Nations Clean Energy Network’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Best Practice Principles for Clean Energy Projects. By incorporating these principles and associated practices into their operations and decision-making processes, proponents of renewable energy projects can demonstrate they are respecting the rights of First Nations peoples and improving outcomes for First Nations rightsholders and communities. The guide outlines First Nations expectations for the sector and details the key considerations for First Nations engagement at each stage of the project lifecycle. It clearly sets out the relevant expectations for different industry stakeholders, at different stages of development. In doing so, this Guide aims to ensure early and ongoing First Nations engagement throughout the life of a project. The guide is structured around the First Nations Clean Energy Network’s 10 Principles.
