Will you be at Meeting of the Mines in Cloncurry, 11-13 September 2024? This three-day industry conference will focus on challenges and opportunities facing future mining projects in the region. Research experts, industry partners, and government bodies will converge to explore the latest developments in the mining industry. Tara Beazley will share insights on navigating regulatory challenges, drawing from her experience working within the North-West Minerals Province having served as a DESI Environmental Compliance Officer, and as an Environmental Advisor at a mineral mine.  Now working as a consultant, Tara has a comprehensive view of the three critical 'arms' - compliance, industry, and consulting - that must work together to achieve both environmental protection and economic growth.  ‘By aligning these perspectives, we can overcome challenges and unlock opportunities for our region's future’ says Tara, NGH’s Regional Manager, Biodiversity NQ. The NGH team is looking forward to continuing the conversation and driving sustainable outcomes for North Queensland! 🌱⚙️ For more detail on the program - https://lnkd.in/eeGPaYiD    #SustainableDevelopment   #NorthQueensland   #NGH 

An outstanding panel on Social Licence and how to Build Community Relationships Panel discussed the importance of building trust. Breannah Schubach (Jeffries), NGH provided an insightful presentation into the value and importance of appropriately engaging with First Nations people. Simple things like not sending online surveys, collaboration across developers and compensating communities for their time as they are fatigued is sensible and sage advice. Well done to the Clean Energy Council for encouraging reporting by developers and releasing the Best Practice Charter for Renewable Energy Projects.   We need standards, not box ticking guidelines, and great to see developers voluntary reporting on where and how they need to improve, and measuring the economic benefits for communities. Inclusive facilitation by Tanya Jackson highlighting the importance of doing the work, understanding communities and building trust. #AWIS2024 #cleanenergy #renewableenergy #windpower Stride Renewables

A good panel discussion followed with fellow speakers Olivia Chambers , Jacqueline Plant and Michael Sale - facilitated by the Clean Energy Council ‘s own Nicholas Aberle. At NGH we work with our clients to make their renewable energy projects a reality. But more needs to done to facilitate the clean energy transition sooner. I’m looking forward to Day 2 #AWIS2024 to hear more about that.

Last night Bec Parkes and I hosted the Far South Coast Enviro Drinks organised by the EIANZ NSW Division. We had 30 local enironmental and heritage practitioneers attend our event. We held it at the Tathra Surf Life Saving Club. What a setting, beautiful sunset over the Tathra Wharf, an Echidna wondering across the beach! We had two presenters, Jessica Bettanin from the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water who gave the most engaging talk on the use of thermal drones for monitoring threatened species. Jess spoke about the exciting work she has been involved in over the last 12 months using thermal drone technology to survey the local koala population on the Far South Coast. Mick Bettanin, a Senior Fisheries Manager at the NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development gave a great talk on the application and use of drones, as well as challenges and licence requirements. A fantastic night. A big thanks to Tathra Surf Life Saving Club for supplying the venue, and for the sponsors of the event Lotsearch | Spatial Intelligence | Mapping Risk and Envirolab Group who funded Pizza for the evening! #drones, #environment, #koalas
