About the Webinar

Over the past five years, the share of electricity generated by renewable energy in Australia has increased significantly to 35%, with the Federal Government announcing their desire for this figure to reach 82% by 2030. It is therefore not surprising that increasing numbers of farmers are being approached by solar and wind farm developers with offers to host wind and solar projects on their land. To understand the legal issues which can arise for rural host landowners, this session shall:

  • Provide an overview of the process for wind and solar projects:
    • What is involved at the construction, development and decommissioning stages of the process
    • Potential impacts on the landowner and other parties at each stage
  • Guide lawyers through what to look for when it comes to license/access agreements, including access rights, easements, land use restrictions, remediation obligations and funding the decommission
  • Discuss practical legal solutions to managing the impact of solar panels and wind turbines on farm activities and neighbouring properties
