Community Reference Group

The Arid Lands Envi­ron­ment Cen­tre (ALEC) is lead­ing com­mu­ni­ty engage­ment activ­i­ties relat­ed to Future Grid, part of which is the Alice Springs Future Grid Com­mu­ni­ty Ref­er­ence Group.

Mem­bers pro­vide valu­able input and feed­back on Future Grid activ­i­ties; rep­re­sent com­mu­ni­ty inter­ests regard­ing renew­able ener­gy in Alice Springs; pro­vide exper­tise where rel­e­vant; and help raise aware­ness of project activ­i­ties with­in the community.

Mem­bers of the ref­er­ence group meet no more than once per month, and will do so until June 2022. 

Inter­est­ed in joining? 

The group is now formed and ALEC is not cur­rent­ly seek­ing addi­tion­al mem­bers. How­ev­er, feel free to express your inter­est and we’ll assess appli­ca­tions on a case-by-case basis. 

A back­ground in renew­able ener­gy is not essen­tial and the group com­pris­es both peo­ple with no pri­or knowl­edge as well as com­mu­ni­ty mem­bers with exper­tise, spe­cif­ic areas of knowl­edge, and an aspi­ra­tion to see the suc­cess of the Future Grid project.

Ini­tial recruit­ment was com­plet­ed in July 2021.
