The toolkit will include a checklist with the relevant information for the landholder to consider, a guideline with suggested actions to take into consideration when dealing with project proponents and materials such as case studies, workshops/webinars and/or web publications that will assist in disseminating the project outcomes.

Expressions of interest are being sought from host landholders and renewable energy proponents to participate in the QLD Renewable Energy Landholder toolkit project. If you are interested, find the Participant Information Form below.
QFF CEO Jo Sheppard and the QFF energy project team hosted a webinar with special guest James Walker, who hosts the Longreach Solar Farm on his property Camden Park Station.
