📢 Under changes announced by Office of Hon Jacinta Allan MP, Premier of Victoria, all new renewable projects in Victoria will be treated as significant economic development, making them eligible for an accelerated pathway – removing the planning panel process and third-party appeals at VCAT. Renewable projects currently stuck in approvals will also be able to access the accelerated pathway. The voices of communities who want to raise concerns with a proposal will continue to be protected. Third party objections will still have a place in the approvals process, but this change aims to prevent delays that can hold renewable energy projects back for years. Currently, around $90 billion worth of investment value in renewable projects is in the pipeline and it is expected these renewable projects would create a massive 15,000 jobs for the state.

With climate extremes causing havoc for farming incomes, the certainty of income from hosting wind and solar can provide welcome relief for many farmers, their families and their communities, keeping farmers on the land, their families in schools, and their spending local. Tetris Energy is pleased to work with our hosting landholders to deliver projects that assist the transition to NetZero and financially support our rural and regional areas and industries, through employment opportunities, community benefit sharing and local procurement. A survey of almost 700 people was undertaken by Farmers for Climate Action, and highlights the opportunities renewable energy present for regional Australia: https://lnkd.in/gckwEtCX

On 5 December a system of storms and low pressure converged around Solomon Islands to form the first tropical cyclone of the season for Australia, making landfall just north of Port Douglas on 13 December. Cyclone Jasper hit the coast as a category two cyclone but it took the system almost five days to move west across Queensland. It left havoc in its wake, with many areas recording more than a metre of rain. Experts say it was not the intensity of the cyclone that has made Jasper stand out but its slow speed and the incredible amount of rain it generated - so why did it produce so much rain, and might a rapidly warming planet have made things worse?
