Flow Power is developing the Corowa BESS on Whitehead Street in Corowa, NSW, in a regional community where infrastructure development needs to be understood through its local social, economic and stakeholder context.

​

Across 2025-26, Lecroma delivered the Social and Economic Impact Assessment and provided strategic and operational stakeholder engagement support. Our work included baseline socio-economic analysis, review of environmental impacts and benefits, community and stakeholder engagement, and practical advice on measures to minimise adverse impacts and enhance local benefits.

​

Alongside the assessment, Lecroma successfully led neighbour and local business engagement and discussions with Federation Council. We helped develop the community benefit-sharing strategy and supported project communications, including consultation materials, and media engagements.

​

This work helped Flow Power manage approval and delivery risks, strengthen relationships with Council, neighbours and local businesses, and build a clearer pathway for community confidence and regional benefit. The project is currently under consideration by the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure.
