The Queensland Community Energy Forums are free public events delivered by Coexistence Queensland, in partnership with the Queensland Government, and host local councils.
These forums bring together community, industry and government to share reliable, factual information about Queensland’s energy and resources sectors and upcoming projects in each region. They provide an opportunity for landholders, residents and local businesses to hear directly from industry and government representatives, learn about proposed developments and gain a better understanding of what to expect throughout the development process, including potential benefits and how impacts will be managed.
With significant energy and resources projects underway and proposed across Queensland, the forums provide a timely opportunity to:
Connect communities with the latest information on local energy and resources projects
Hear first-hand from landholders, companies, and government representatives
Understand potential benefits, development processes and how impacts will be managed
The forums aim to build shared understanding, strengthen partnerships and ensure regional communities have access to the information they need to better understand energy and resources development in their area.
Previously known as the Queensland Community Renewables Forums, the events have been renamed the Queensland Community Energy Forums to better reflect their broader focus on energy and resources projects and how these developments interact with agriculture and regional communities. The forums provide an opportunity to learn about proposed projects, understand their potential benefits and impacts, and explore how these sectors can work sustainably alongside one another.
