We're Shaping a Sustainable Energy Future for Australia, by Taking Action AGL SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2017 | SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS STRATEGY SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS STRATEGY We’re shaping a sustainable energy future for Australia, by taking action to prosper in a carbon-constrained world and becoming a more customer-centric business. As the largest private coal fired energy generator in Australia, the largest private operator of renewable energy generation assets in Australia and as one of Australia’s largest energy retailers, we’re uniquely placed to shape a sustainable energy future for Australia. • We are moving from being a mass retailer to a personalised retailer – using smarter solutions, technology and service to empower our customers. • We are transitioning from being an owner and operator of large generation assets to an orchestrator of large and small assets, allowing energy to be generated, stored and shared by individuals. • And we are moving to lower-emissions technology. We’ve set a deadline to close our coal plants and are investing heavily in renewable energy. We’ve been committed to sustainability for a long time. In fact, we’ve been reporting on our sustainability journey since 2004. To us, ‘sustainability’ simply means thinking about the long-term responsibilities we have to all our stakeholders (our employees, our customers, our investors, and the community) and to the environment in which we all work and live. We think this way because we recognise that our future success and reputational standing is shaped and measured by more than just our economic performance; it is also influenced by the social and environmental consequences of our decisions and actions for all our stakeholders. This report provides our stakeholders with an account of our sustainability performance over the last year, and sets goals for the following years. It focuses on the things that matter most to us, and to our stakeholders - our ‘material issues’ - and aims to provide thought leadership on important and emerging issues for our business, our industry, and the broader community.

AGL SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2017 | SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS STRATEGY | SUSTAINABILITY TARGETS & PERFORMANCE SUMMARY Sustainable business strategy Sustainability targets & performance summary We have established targets and commitments to drive performance, behaviours and transparency across a range of sustainability topics. Our scorecard shows how we have performed against the targets we set for FY17, and shows the new targets that have been set to guide our performance in FY18 and beyond. Further details about how we have performed are available in each section of the report. While we try to keep as much consistency between target metrics year on year, some targets have changed to reflect key metrics used by the business to evaluate performance, or where existing metrics aren’t measuring or driving performance as expected.

    Wind Turbine Transportation Temporary delays – Gateway Motorway / Mt Gravatt-Capalaba Road intersection May 2019 – July 2019 Saturday to Thursday nights between 10pm and 12am Saturday to Thursday nights (six nights per week), between 10pm and 12am, the intersection of the Gateway Motorway and Mt Gravatt-Capalaba Road will be closed intermittently, for approximately 15-20 minutes, to allow for the safe movement of oversize vehicles transporting wind turbine blades and large tower sections to the Coopers Gap Wind Farm near Cooranga North. Traffic will be held at the Gateway Motorway / Mt Gravatt-Capalaba Road intersection and on the motorway off-ramp until it is safe to continue. We will try to minimise the disruption to other road users where possible, but some delays are to be expected. These temporary closures will be in place between May and July 2019. Closure times Gateway Motorway / Mt Gravatt-Capalaba Road intersection • Saturday to Thursday nights (six nights per week), intermittent closures between 10pm – 12am, from May to July 2019 Transportation of oversize wind turbine components Between January and November 2019, components for the wind farm’s 123 GE wind turbines will be transported over 300km from the Port of Brisbane to the Coopers Gap Wind Farm site. In total there will be approximately 1200 oversize transport movements to deliver all of the wind turbine components to site – including blades, tower sections, hubs and nacelles. The blades, which are up to 67.2 metres long, are the largest wind turbine blades ever transported in Australia. The movement of such large pieces of equipment requires detailed planning and coordination.

  • Surat Basin Non-Resident Population Projections, 2021 to 2025
    Queensland Government Statistician’s Office Surat Basin non–resident population projections, 2021 to 2025 Introduction The resource sector in regional Queensland utilises fly-in/fly-out Figure 1 Surat Basin region and drive-in/drive-out (FIFO/DIDO) workers as a source of labour supply. These non-resident workers live in the regions only while on-shift (refer to Notes, page 9). The Australian Bureau of Statistics’ (ABS) official population estimates and the Queensland Government’s population projections for these areas only include residents. To support planning for population change, the Queensland Government Statistician’s Office (QGSO) publishes annual non–resident population estimates and projections for selected resource regions. This report provides a range of non–resident population projections for local government areas (LGAs) in the Surat Basin region (Figure 1), from 2021 to 2025. The projection series represent the projected non-resident populations associated with existing resource operations and future projects in the region. Projects are categorised according to their standing in the approvals pipeline, including stages of In this publication, the Surat Basin region is defined as the environmental impact statement (EIS) process, and the local government areas (LGAs) of Maranoa (R), progress towards achieving financial close. Series A is based Western Downs (R) and Toowoomba (R). on existing operations, projects under construction and approved projects that have reached financial close. Series B, C and D projections are based on projects that are at earlier stages of the approvals process. Projections in this report are derived from surveys conducted by QGSO and other sources. Data tables to supplement the report are available on the QGSO website (www.qgso.qld.gov.au).

  • Dear Ms Gardner
    Select Committee on Wind Turbines Submission 208 - Attachment 1 [Reference No] Ms.Ann Gardner By email to: Dear Ms Gardner, Thank you for your email to the Chair of the Clean Energy Regulator, dated 18 November 2014, making a formal complaint about noise and vibration from the Macarthur Wind Farm. The matters raised by you are more appropriately addressed to the Victorian Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure (formerly known as the Victorian Department of Planning and Community Development). They are not matters that fall within the powers of the Clean Energy Regulator (the Regulator) under the various Commonwealth legislation administered by the Regulator. The Clean Energy Regulator is an economic regulator. With respect to the Renewable Energy Target, the Regulator regulates both the supply of certificates (by ensuring the integrity of their creation by renewable power stations) and the demand and surrender of those certificates (by ensuring liable electricity retailers surrender the correct number of certificates). The Clean Energy Regulator is only empowered to administer relevant Commonwealth laws (eg to ensure that a wind farm operator complies with its responsibilities under relevant Commonwealth legislation that the Regulator administers). It cannot interfere in state-based activities. If a wind farm is not complying with State/Territory laws (eg as to planning requirements and noise control etc), it is a matter for the relevant State/Territory a.uthority to address. The Macarthur Wind Farm is an accredited power station under the Renewable Energy (Electricity} Act 2000 (the Act) and the Renewable Energy (Electricif:W Regulations 2001 (the Regulations). Once an eligible power station has been accredited, it remains accredited unless the Regulator decides to suspend the accreditation under Division 11 of Part 2 of the Act {being sections 30D and 30E and the circumstances prescribed for the purposes of subsection 30E(5) in regulation 20D of the Regulations).
