Our engagement approach is centred on the principles of transparency, accessibility, inclusiveness and communication.

Transgrid is committed to continuously improving our engagement to support our decision making and deliver tangible and lasting community benefits, while progressing our work program. 

Our Community Partnerships Program is designed to help not-for-profit groups to deliver initiatives that will have a tangible and lasting impact on local communities.

On the Community Partnerships Program page, you can view grant opportunities, as well as the list of successful recipients.

In October 2021, Transgrid established three Community Consultative Groups (CCGs) to encourage and facilitate participation in the HumeLink project. Each CCG included community members and representatives from local councils, community groups, industries and local businesses who were selected through an independent application process. The CCGs provided valuable feedback to Transgrid and the HumeLink team on behalf of the community.

 

The CCGs represented communities from:

• Yass and Upper Lachlan LGAs
• Wagga Wagga and Cootamundra Gundagai LGAs
• Snowy Valleys LGA.

 

The CCGs ran from October 2021 until March 2024.

You can find more information on CCG in the resources section below.

The HumeLink project team is committed to strengthening relationships and continually engaging with local Indigenous communities and individuals across the project footprint. You can find more information on our engagement practices on our Engagement with Indigenous communities page.

Transgrid strive to build positive and lasting relationships with our local communities, create tangible benefits to energy consumers, our communities, and the environment as part of our commitment to building a sustainable clean energy future. We have developed a Community Investment and Benefits Plan (CIBP) for the HumeLink project to guide the project team's community investment work within the project footprint, to address identified impacts, deliver social outcomes, benefits, and our commitment to creating positive and lasting relationships with our local communities.
