AGL’s submission to Victoria’s proposed biodiversity guidance

AGL welcomes the Victorian Government providing more guidance around managing the impacts of renewable energy projects on biodiversity. More clarity around species most at risk and managing the impacts to these species will provide assurance that renewables are being built with sound mitigation practices. It’s important that a balanced approach is taken to ensure that the guidelines do not result in unintended consequences, and that they allow for the efficient rollout of renewable energy, which has long-term benefits for nature and the climate.
