The Queensland Government in April this year said it would develop a mandatory and nation-leading code of conduct for the renewable energy industry.

The code of conduct, which will be co-designed with various stakeholders, will ensure locals benefit first and foremost from the renewable energy jobs boom and that developers conduct themselves in a manner which is consistent and respectful.

It will do this by ensuring renewable energy developers engage genuinely with landholders and communities when developing, building and operating new generation and storage projects.
