Neoen acknowledges the Gomeroi & Anaiwan people, Traditional Owners of the land on which Thunderbolt Wind Farm will harvest the energy of the wind. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

COMMUNITY CONSULTATIVE COMMITTEE (CCC)

The Thunderbolt Wind Farm CCC was formed under the direction of the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPIE) for State Significant Projects. A CCC provides a forum for open discussion between the proponent and representatives of the community, stakeholder groups and local councils on issues directly relating to the project. The CCC is comprised of an independent chairperson, Council representatives and community members that live locally or are members of a stakeholder group (community, environment, Aboriginal or industry).

Please refer to the Community Consultative Committee Guideline for further information.
