Getting It Right: What Needs to be Done to Ensure First Nations’ Participation and Benefit from Large-Scale Renewable Energy Developments on Country?
Australia has excellent solar and wind resources and is close enough to Asian markets to enable the export of green electricity. The combination of these ideal conditions positions Australia to become a “renewable energy superpower.” In order to achieve these goals and for Australia to transition to...

Much of the suitable and available land for such large-scale renewable development belongs to the Indigenous Estate, including both Aboriginal freehold title and Native Title land.
