Renewable Energy Benefit-Sharing Policy

This policy outlines Yass Valley Council’s approach toward the provision of community benefit contributions by proponents of projects which contribute to and/or support the transition to renewable energy in NSW and which impact the Yass Valley local government area.

The policy aims to ensure that the Yass Valley community receives valuable, equitable and sustainable community benefit contributions from renewable energy projects and that those benefits align with Council’s strategic objectives.
