The Social Licence Register
Every renewable project makes promises. We track whether they’re kept.

The Social Licence Register is Australia’s first independent public record of what renewable energy developers commit to regional communities, and what actually gets delivered.

The Social Licence Register makes renewable energy commitments clearer, fairer and easier to track. We’re independent, we don’t take developer money, and we read every project from its primary planning documents. Our job is to show communities, councils and government what’s been promised, and what’s actually happening on the ground.

How to read the registers. Each zone opens on an About page. Use the top navigation to move between the overview, the project register, government investment and the methodology. The “Public site / Full pilot view” toggle (lower right) shows how the same page looks on the free public site versus the full view shared with government. Use “← All zones” in the top-left of any register to come back here.
