i object to this project. solar power is unreliable and not a suitable source of energy to power NSW. why are rural communities being destroyed in order to power NSW? rural communities did not ask for this, so we should not have to accommodate such projects. this will also have ugly consequences on the landscape. destroying 494.0ha of RU1 ag land for this project is appealing. We need food security for Australia.

I object to this project because it will be an ugly addition to the rural landscape. It will also impact local economy in a negative way. As someone who works in a small rural supplies store, renewable energy developments such as these will ultimately close down businesses like mine. protect rural NSW communities!

This will not only be dangerous to our health and the environment, but also detrimental to small rural businesses and our economy. With farming operations closing down due to renewable energy taking over, our small community-based businesses will suffer, as we rely significantly on the agricultural industry; it is the backbone to our communities.

This project plans to destroy 494.9ha of RU1 farming land with toxic and fire prone renewable energy infrastructure. It is criminal what they want to do. Stop destroying Australia’s ag industry.

They want to destroy 494.9ha of primary producing agricultural land. This should not be allowed. Security of food and fibre should be a priority for Australia.
This toxic solar panel factory is of a major fire risk and will put significant strain on local and rural firefighting services. These local firefighting services are not equipped with the resources or man-power to manage emergency fires for when they do break out at this site. Why should the community risk their lives and step up to fight fires for infrastructure that they never wanted there in the first place?

I object to the the Burroway solar and BESS project.
Why is our government forcing FIRE HAZARDOUS infrastructure and UNRELIABLE energy on our nation at the expense of rural Australia?!?
Save the land that produces food and fibre for Australia. Put these elsewhere!
These projects are destroying rural Australia!!

Noting the Livestock Producer Assurance accreditation application, they recognise and acknowledge that agricultural land WILL BE POISONED by batteries and solar panels. Given this significant fact, these projects should NOT go ahead as they compromise our food security and environmental safety.

This project represents part of an unreliable energy system that will require a fossil fuel powered system as "firming".
This so called net zero project will require a 5000% increase in open cut mining, resulting in enormous environmental damage. There will still need to be a fossil fuel generator project to provide 24/7 power.
Within 15 years this entire project will likely become landfill.
This project makes no sense.

This solar/battery swindle is not in the public interest.
What a load of crap stating that you'll be running merino sheep within the Project boundary. This is animal cruelty given the track record of sheep being skinned alive when their wool gets caught in the chain driven mechanism that rotate the panels.

I Object Vehemently to Solar Farms on Murray Darling Basin Food Bowl Catchments.
I Vehemently Object to Burroway Solar Dubbo region, I Do.
Cease Immediately Solar Farm projects including Burroway Solar Dubbo Prime Agricultural Lands region, under Threat from:
- the Ignorant as our government, including the Ignorant who are Ignorant but get to Decide Our Future which will be Threatened by Solar Farms upon Our Prime Agricultural Lands, Australia.
- Plastic meat, Plastic crops, Plastic water in Catchments run by the people who cannot farm , hey, but want money Money Money for a Threat to Murray Darling Basin Food Bowl Catchments, under Threat from Solar Farms and Wind Farms, industrial, industrial, yes, industrial, yes, industrial, industrial.
- Wiradjuri Wetlands Protect.
- Waterways Protect.
What are you Doing to My Nation gov.au ? You don't know do you. Get out then.
Crop this area With Hemp, Hemp, Hemp instead, which someone has said can power 40,000 Homes using solar panels upon Prime Agricultural Lands. 40,000 homes Can be powered by Rooftop Solar. Can. Local Jobs. Local. Years of jobs. Yeah for Locals. Locals. Use Aussie made too. Eg Tractile products which Insulate and power the Home, and can cover Rooftops Only instead of Prime Agricultural Lands Macquarie River Catchments Murray Darling Basin Food Bowl Catchments.
Where's the Catchment Authority these days ?
Who was the Elder who said a Solar Farm could be planned upon Wiradjuri country ? Who is it ? They're Wrong. Very.
Who was the Elder who enabled a proposal for a Solar Farm upon Narromine Macquarie River Catchments ? They need to be questioned. Thanks. You do know a area of River is a Sacred Area to Wiradjuri don't you, nsw.gov.au, gov.au ? Who was it ? It's Sacred Land Wiradjuri from Dubbo to the border of NSW SA.
What are you Doing On Wiradjuri country please Edify Energy ?
What are you Doing there Edify Energy ? Who let you there ?
OK. So the Mobs get No say seems like. Hmmm. They Protect Waterways they do. Gov.au should Know that. Seems they, gov.au, don't. Hmmm.

40,000 is the Claim re Burroway Solar farm.
Um . Get Solar Farms Off My Australian Farmlands Immediately and put them On Rooftops Only, and know Why.
One day You Will Be Responsible gov.au, Complicit in Crimes Against Humanity Australians who are Losing Farmlands For No Reason, For No Reason, when Rooftops Only Is The Only Place for Solar Farms.
"The Burroway solar farm is located north of Narromine and west of Dubbo, NSW, in the Central West & Orana Renewable Energy Zone, on traditional Wiradjuri country..."
Put them On Rooftops ONLY gov.au. Keep the area Macquarie River Farmlands for the Next 8 Generations into 4 more after that, yes.
