The following is the information: The land access process starts when the Project manager, responsible for delivering LNP's next wind farm, completes his Project Approvals

The following is the information:

The land access process starts when the Project manager, responsible for delivering LNP's next wind farm, completes his Project Approvals Form (PAF). The PAF includes key details about the proposed infrastructure and its location, and the Project Manager sends this via the Project Management And Land Access System (PMALAS) to the Land Access Coordinator (LAC). The LAC reviews it for completeness, and if it is missing key information, returns it to the Project Manager for completion before progressing to the next step. If complete, the LAC undertakes a (property) title search to confirm ownership of the land where the infrastructure is proposed. The LAC then updates the ownership field in PMALAS, uploads the title search document, and PMALAS updates the PAF with this information. PMALAS then notifies the Land Access Negotiators (LANs), the Survey Team, and GM of Land & Environment of the proposed PAF. At the same time as sending to the LANs, PMALAS also notifies the Land Access Legal Adviser (LALA) of the title search document, who then drafts a key legal document, the Consent to Enter (CtoE) permit. Meantime, the LANs identify an individual LAN to conduct this negotiation, and once the LALA completes the CtoE, she submits it to the PMALAS, which notifies the assigned LAN that the CtoE is available.

The LAN then makes initial postal contact with the landholder proposing three dates for a face-to-face appointment to discuss the proposed infrastructure. Once the LAN gets a response including the confirmed date from the landholder, he will diarise that meeting, ensure that he has a folder of all relevant information ready for the landholder, book a pool vehicle for travel to the property and complete a journey management form. On the appointed day, the LAN will meet the landholder at the property to introduce LNP and the project. If the LAN doesn't get a response to the original letter within 10 business days, he will call the landholder to arrange a time. Sometimes the LAN gets the landholder's voicemail, and leaves a voice message asking for a return call, though on most occasions, he gets to speak to the landholder. Invariably the landholder will confirm the date after this reminder at the latest, after which the above steps of meeting preparation are followed.

During that first meeting, the LAN presents the CtoE formally to the landholder, and explains what the proposed activity would entail (light impact, survey crew). If the landholder agrees, she will first negotiate land access rules that set out clear expectations about behaviour on the land (e.g. leaving gates open/closed/as they were found, as well as any weed washdown requirements), then signs the CtoE, and returns both documents to the LAN. Once the meeting is finished, and the LAN returns to his vehicle, he scans the CtoE and land access rules, and uploads them both to PMALAS. On some occasions, the landholder will be unsure of her legal rights and obligations, and while happy to negotiate the land access rules, will not sign the CtoE at that first meeting, choosing to obtain legal advice first. In those instances, the landholder's lawyer will then contact the LALA to resolve any legal queries, and once those are resolved, the Landholder will sign the CtoE electronically and email it to a special email address which PMALAS processes. Irrespective which route the negotiation took to get to this point, PMALAS automatically allocates it to the correct PAF, and then notifies the Project Manager that the signed documents are ready for execution. Once the PAF is formally approved by the Project Manager, PMALAS notifies LNP's Survey Team that this land is now available to add to their survey schedule.

The Survey Team will review the details in the PAF, and identify three potential dates for the survey, which they enter into PMALAS. PMALAS now automatically sends a copy of the executed CtoE and land access rules, as well as a standard email, asking the landholder to confirm which of the three proposed dates would suit, or to nominate another. Because the unexpected can happen, at any time after confirming the survey date and before the survey happens, the landholder may need to change the date, and does that by contacting the LAN to advise of the change. If that happens, the LAN will cancel the scheduled survey in PMALAS, and record a new survey date from a list of availability dates for the survey crew. After the survey is undertaken, the Survey Team uploads its reports and data to PMALAS, which automatically updates the approved PAF, and notifies the GIS team that maps are needed. The GIS Team will then create sign-off maps using the coordinates and infrastructure information provided in the PAF, and upload these to PMALAS. PMALAS then notifies the LAN, who reviews the maps, and once approved PMALAS adds them to the PAF. If there are errors, the LAN will reject the sign-off maps in PMALAS, explaining why, and the GIS team then creates a new sign-off map which follows the same review and approval process.

Now that confirmed infrastructure locations have been confirmed, the LAN and landholder can negotiate the long-term access agreement. The LAN requests the LALA draft a legal agreement to cover construction and long-term operational access to the land with the landholder (the land access agreement). The LALA provides this typically within a day by uploading it to PMALAS, which then notifies the LAN. The LAN now contacts the landholder via telephone to arrange a time to present the land access agreement to the landholder. Once presented and discussed, if the landholder wishes to obtain legal and valuation advice, the landholder's lawyer will then contact LNP's LALA to resolve any legal queries, and the valuer will assess the economic impact on the landholder, providing a report to both the landholder's lawyer and LNP's LALA. Once legal and valuation negotiations are resolved, the LALA issues the final draft of the land access agreement to the LAN and to the landholder's lawyer, which the LAN will bring to the landholder for signature. When the landholder signs, the LAN scans and uploads the signed agreement and the signed sign-off maps to PMALAS, which adds them to the PAF, and then notifies the GM Land & Environment. The GM executes the contract electronically on behalf of LNP, and PMALAS then notifies the Project Manager and LAN, and issues and copy via email to the landholder. The LAN also sends the paper version of the signed contract via express post to the LAC, who gives it to the GM Land & Environment to wet sign, after which the LAC files the original in a fireproof safe, and now, with land access secured, the process ends.
