Our Story
Built by the community it speaks for.
How residents and landowners across New England NSW came together to form a single, credible voice on renewable energy development.
In 2021, communities across the New England high country were waking up to the same letters, the same land-agent visits and the same maps: a wave of large-scale wind, solar and transmission proposals arriving all at once.
Each town was facing its own project, on its own, against well-resourced developers. Walcha, Uralla, Armidale, Glen Innes and the districts between them were having the same conversation separately. So we joined them together.
ReD4NE, Responsible Energy Development for New England, was formed as a not-for-profit, incorporated community: an umbrella group giving local community groups and landowners one regional voice on the New England Renewable Energy Zone (REZ).
We're not anti-renewables. We're for our fair share of projects, not the saturation of our region.
ReD4NE is governed by its Constitution and managed by its membership through an elected Committee of Management. We're run entirely by volunteers: farmers, graziers, small business owners, professionals, retirees and families from across the region.
