Engagement with the local community
is a critical objective of GMR Energy and is integral to this project.

We would like to ensure that open dialogue and information transfer can occur with local residents, stakeholders and the wider community in an easy and efficient manner.

We would like to ensure that there is no “surprise” to the community and that a long-term relationship is maintained between the project team and all project stakeholders.

Community benefits.

Development of the Gould Creek will produce economic benefits for the Gould Creek/Para area well before the first MW of electricity is generated. Surveyors, consultants and company representatives have been and will be visiting the area, providing income for the accommodation and service sectors resulting from an expected 150 jobs created through the construction period.

The BESS will also contribute to ongoing employment contracts for operational and maintenance needs after the project is built.

If you have skills that may be useful during the design, construction or operation of the BESS, please email us at contact@gmr.energy with your contact details and a brief summary of the services and skills you can provide.

Community consultation.

GMR Energy is committed to working with the local community to ensure a transparent engagement process and successful project. The objectives of the community engagement process are:

  • To keep the community and stakeholders informed about the project through the provision of factual project information
  • To identify and address community and stakeholder concerns and maintain transparency in the project design and implementation
  • To identify opportunities for local business involvement in the implementation of the project
  • To provide feedback on how stakeholder and community input will influence the final project and decision

GMR Energy considers community consultation to be essential at all stages of the Solar Farm and BESS life cycle, and invites all members of the community to contact Us.
