As socially responsible leaders in Queensland’s energy transition, CQP are committed to best practice project development, community engagement and co-designed benefit sharing.

In developing renewable energy projects throughout Central Queensland, CQP commits to avoiding, mitigating and managing environmental, social and other potential project impacts through detailed design, impact assessment, community engagement and benefit enhancement. 

Community engagement and benefit sharing from renewable energy projects in Queensland follows clear state guidelines that require consultation with local governments about how the project engages with communities, and about the details of community benefit.  

CQP’s approach to community engagement is based on the following principles:

• Openness – we promise that relevant information will be shared with the community in a format that is clear, accurate, timely and honest

• Inclusiveness – we promise work with all project stakeholders to ensure their perspectives are considered

• Responsiveness – we promise to listen and respond to all community concerns

• Accountability – we promise to monitor, evaluate and disclose information about project activities, including potential positive and negative project impacts

CQP’s approach to benefit sharing is based on the following principles:

• Benefit sharing is transparent, proportionate and supports the delivery of benefit through local councils

• Benefit sharing is co-designed with community and contributes to positive community outcomes

• Benefit sharing is inclusive and considerate of project neighbours, communities and First Nations stakeholders

CQP is committed to delivering local benefit through long-term positive partnership, starting with early investment in communities where we work.
