As chair of the Legislative Assembly Environment and Planning Committee, I’m excited our first Inquiry will look at the renewable energy opportunities and energy market forecasts and then how to support affected regional communities during transition from coal-based energy.

The committee will hear from experts and communities and then make recommendations for government action. Submissions close 15 September: HERE

With my Independent colleagues Greg Piper and Joe McGirr, I called for a transition plan for coal communities during the election campaign: HERE
