Who is this Project Timeline for?

Walking along the development pathway together is key to addressing the impacts of climate change for the benefit of future generations.

This Project Timeline is a shared tool for:

  • First Nations people – e.g., Prescribed Bodies Corporate (PBCs), Applicants.
  • Renewable Energy Developers (REDs) – any party with ownership or equity in a renewable energy project, including Traditional Owners/PBCs.
  • Government (timeline also references legislation and regulations specific to Western Australia).

The Project Timeline is a best practice approach to guide the negotiation of a renewable energy project to deliver positive outcomes for Traditional Owners/PBCs and industry alike, whether PBC-led or industry-led projects.

A collaborative approach from the start is a vital part of a RED’s social licence to operate and underpins successful renewable energy projects that result in positive outcomes for Proponents and investors.

It also empowers Traditional Owners/PBCs and provides access to generational wealth and many social and economic benefits to local communities.

Important notes about this timeline

YMAC’s Renewable Energy Guide has been developed for use by Prescribed Bodies Corporate (PBCs), Traditional Owners, Renewable Energy Developers (REDs), government and industry.

It is designed as a ‘big picture’ framework for renewable energy projects. Its intention is to support a best practice approach by all parties involved in a project. 

All projects are different, and the Project Timeline is not intended to be a perfect fit for all projects. That is, for any project, stages may occur or commence at different times or not be required. Some stages are linear, and others may occur, in whole or in part, concurrently. Each stage incorporates considerations for other stages, as relevant to a project.

The Project Timeline is a GUIDE ONLY.
