Listening, Learning and Building Together

Local Communities

Community engagement is central to the success of High Sea Wind and vital to Gippsland’s long-term sustainability. By listening to local voices, the project can reflect regional priorities, respect cultural heritage, and build lasting partnerships. From the early stages of development, we’re committed to engaging openly, respectfully and consistently with local stakeholders, landholders, businesses, and residents.
Our approach is guided by best-practice principles developed by leading energy and government bodies and shaped by Ocean Winds’ global experience delivering offshore wind projects.
Our Stakeholder Engagement Strategy and other engagement materials can be found on our Resources page.

Traditional Custodians

High Sea Wind recognises the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters connected to the project and respects their continuing cultural, spiritual, and economic relationships with Country. We are committed to engaging with Traditional Owners and First Nations communities in a respectful, transparent, and culturally appropriate manner throughout the project lifecycle.

Fisheries​

The project is committed to the responsible development of the offshore wind farm and the co-existence with commercial fisheries. We acknowledge that a successful co-existence requires open and transparent communications between the project and the fishing industry.  Early and ongoing consultation with local fishers helps ensure that traditional practices, seasonal patterns, and safety needs are understood and respected. Input from the fishing community will inform marine studies, access planning, and operational protocols.
