Agreements to host a renewable energy project are a voluntary agreement between the landholder and the renewable energy proponent.  In negotiating an agreement, it is important that a landholder considers all potential impacts from the renewable development on their property, both now and into the future, and ensures that these are adequately compensated.

There are many things that a landholder should consider as part of the negotiation process and the Queensland Farmers Federation’s Queensland Renewable Landholder Energy Toolkit is an excellent resource for landholders about to commence this process.

Landholders are also encouraged to seek appropriate legal and other professional advice as required.
