TasNetworks is seeking your feedback to help shape a proposed community benefits sharing program (CBSP) for the North West Transmission Developments (NWTD). You can find out more about the NWTD here.

TasNetworks formed a Youth Panel in early 2022 made up of 18–25-year-olds from the six local government areas impacted by the NWTD.

The panel, meeting between March to May 2022, were tasked with co-designing a draft CBSP framework.

By their final meeting, the Youth Panel had developed and agreed on a draft CBSP framework. This framework provides several recommendations to be considered by TasNetworks for the development of a NWTD CBSP.

The draft recommendations address three main areas of the CBSP:

  • What projects and/or activities should be awarded funding under the program
  • Who should be awarded funding under the program
  • How the community benefits program should be delivered. 

You can view the Youth Panel’s recommendations here.

Get involved and have your in shaping the future of your community!
