The Landholder Liaison Advantage
About
How Skilled Landholder Liaison Officers Reduce Conflict & Accelerate Clean‑Energy ProjectsClean energy projects are expanding across regional Australia, bringing new opportunities, and new conversations to landholders and local communities. While many of these conversations are positive, others can become challenging. The difference often comes down to the skills and approach of the people doing the engagement.
This free 45-minute webinar introduces the role of the Landholder Liaison Officer (LLO) and the Australian Renewables Academy’s Landholder Liaison Officer Services (LLOS) training program. You’ll learn how skilled LLOs help prevent conflict, build trust, and support smoother project delivery across regional Australia.

Tom will also outline how the training prepares participants for real-world scenarios and the growing career opportunities in this emerging field.
Carolyn Francis — Assistant Commissioner in the Office of the Australian Energy Infrastructure Commissioner
Exclusive insight from the Commission: Carolyn will share national experience with landholder issues: what’s working, where challenges are emerging and why skilled liaison is becoming essential for credible, community-backed clean‑energy development.
