Community

Our commitment to people and sustainability

FRV is passionate about this project and recognise the importance of ensuring the project is a success for the local community.

There are a number of benefits of the project for the community. It will represent a positive diversification of the regional economy, it will create employment opportunities, and it will have a significantly lower environmental impact relative to coal, diesel and gas-fired power plants.

FRV considers it is important that the concerns of the local and broader community are considered and addressed appropriately.

If you are a member of the community or are just interested in the project, we encourage you to share any thoughts, concerns or suggestions you may have and they will be considered and addressed appropriately.

You can provide comments directly to FRV here. Please include accurate and complete contact information so we can get in touch to further understand your comments.
