      Once construction is complete. Golden Plains Wind Farm will be the largest in the Southern Hemisphere. The $1.7 billion project will produce enough green energy for half a million homes. At WestWind Energy, we recognise Earth Day year-round by building renewable energy wind farms that provide electricity to our homes, our workplaces and industry without the need to mine and burn fossil fuels. Wind power is a clean and sustainable source of energy that is generating much more than electricity. It is generating jobs, incomes, and opportunities for many rural communities. Wind energy and agriculture are perfect partners. A typical wind farm leaves around 98 percent of the land free for crop cultivation or grazing livestock, while land lease payments provide a reliable source of additional income. This can be a crucial buffer against variable crop prices and the vagaries of the weather, especially drought. Show less

His philosophy is that on-going engagement with stakeholders is critical to the success of any project because people deserve to be kept informed, be provided opportunities to improve their understanding and voice their concerns as well as de-risking projects by reducing the potential for misinformation to develop. He loves to have a yarn with any unsuspecting stakeholder and actively seeks out groups and individuals to engage. He is a key asset in tackling MDV’s engagement challenge and provides pertinent and timely advice on engagement tactics, communications and collateral. Show less

      • Feb 2018 - Nov 2018

      I was contracted to manage the community engagement and communications for the Melbourne Water Brighton Main Sewer rehabilitation project - which impacted on residents and other users along 4.5 kilometres of Brighton's iconic Beach Road and the Bay Trail. I provided a high standard of communications and community engagement with stakeholders in the affluent Melbourne coastal suburb. This ensured the smooth roll out of project, despite 24 hour works and multiple traffic lane closures along Beach Road - a major road for commuters, tourists and cyclists. The successful communications and community engagement program, which resulted in a high level of support for the project by residents and business owners, was recognised by the John Holland Group, Melbourne Water and the Bayside City Council. Melbourne Water’s post project community engagement survey returned a Brighton Customer Satisfaction result of an exceptional 4.3 out of 5. It was particularly pleasing to have the Brighton Main Sewer Upgrade project announced as a finalist in the prestigious John Holland annual awards in the Community category. Show less
