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?

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!!

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.

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.

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.

Destruction of our environment to construct and connect this energy to the cities.
No decent plan for recycling the panels leaving our rural productive land as a dumping ground for waste.
