The Musselroe Wind Farm on the far northeast tip of Trouwerner/Lutruwita/Tasmania has formalised access to an 80-hectare piece of land, with a long-term vision of the freehold title being returned to the Pairrebeener people – in an example of social value produced by a renewable energy project. This land access has enabled Melaythenner Teeackana Warrana Aboriginal Corporation (MTWAC) to gather for cultural ceremonies, build a base for the Tebrakunna Rangers to care for Country and develop sustainable employment for Aboriginal people within the region. They also have aspirations for commercial activities including tourism, accommodation and marine enterprises.
