Project-based support

Navigating approvals, community & government for your renewable energy project

Not every project needs an ongoing retainer. For renewable energy proponents with a defined scope — whether it’s a planning approval, community engagement program, or stakeholder campaign — we deliver focused, project-based support scoped to your timeline and objectives.

Government & regulatory approvals

Navigate state and federal planning frameworks, engage with decision-makers, and build the government relationships needed to secure project approvals without delay.

Community & stakeholder engagement

Develop and deliver engagement strategies that build genuine social licence — from early consultation through to benefit-sharing agreements and ongoing community partnerships.

Strategic communications & narrative

Craft clear, credible project messaging for government, media, and community audiences — positioning your project within the broader energy transition story.

Risk assessment & issues management

Map the political and stakeholder landscape, identify opposition risks early, and build proactive strategies to manage issues before they escalate into project-threatening problems.

Social licence strategy

Go beyond compliance to build the genuine community acceptance your project needs to succeed — including First Nations engagement planning aligned with FPIC principles.

Crisis & rapid response

When opposition emerges or media scrutiny intensifies, we deploy quickly with media management, stakeholder communications, and government liaison to protect your project timeline.

Every project is different. Let’s scope yours.

Share your details and we’ll be in touch to discuss your project, understand your objectives, and put together a tailored proposal.
