Cobbora Solar Farm

There has not been due diligence with community consultation nor with Australians at large.
You are whitewashing a rural community with disprespevtvin a Stalin style rapid roll out of renewable energy which does not take into consideration the heavy carbon footprint involved not only in manufacturing and in production and installation but in the ridiculous distance that you are proposing to transport power to the coast.
Pigheaded
Selfish
Disrespectful to rural communities and in absolute disrespect to nature - flora and fauna.

The project has not obtained social licence from surrounding communities.
It is being imposed through a top-down planning process that excludes local voices, bypasses meaningful engagement, and treats rural residents as disposable collateral in a dangerous industrial experiment.

There is no binding decommissioning plan, no remediation strategy, and no financial bond to cover the clean-up of this toxic site.

Once the project reaches end-of-life or becomes obsolete, it will be abandoned — and the costs dumped on ratepayers, landholders, and councils forever.

Why have threatened species not properly assessed. Because this is a Controlled Action under the EPBC Act for “listed threatened species and communities” (sections 18 and 18A) , the proponent must properly assess all protected matters. The EIS appears to rely heavily on “no significant impact”, it is a common statement , claims without habitat surveys for cryptic or nocturnal species. The assessment is inadequate, especially for threatened species already under stress in the Dunedoo district, e.g. small mammals, reptiles, frogs and birds. The proponent must demonstrate due diligence.

The term “solar farm” is deliberately misleading.
This is not agriculture — it’s a hazardous industrial site made up of flammable, toxic components.

This project permanently disfigures the landscape and endangers residents, while offering no tangible local benefit whatsoever.
The whole RUIN-A-BULL SWINDLE is all pain and no gain

This plan DOES NOT Satisfy the Public Interest Test.

POISONING PRODUCTIVE LAND/WATER, ENERGY POVERTY & NATIONAL SECURITY SABOTAGE ARE NOT IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST!!

The Government has a FATAL ADDICTION in PRIORITISING UNETHICAL, CCP CONTROLLING, PATHETICALLY INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL INFRASTRUCTURE ensuring Australia becomes nothing but a wide-spread TOXIC CONTAMINATING SOLAR//WIND/BATTERY DUMP & Toxic Mine Pit with a BLACKOUT FUTURE - as a Vassal State for China🇨🇳- given this Solar & Battery infrastructure will typically be treacherously sourced from & therefore subject to being remotely disabled & used for coercion and sabotage by our most hostile enemy - the Chinese Communist Party.

This poisonous infrastructure DEFIES THE COMMONWEALTH PFAS - PFOS BAN and AUSTRALIAN DRINKING WATER GUIDELINES.
It would ensure that the site would NEVER BE fully restored to agricultural use following decommissioning as claimed.

This plan will typically & wrongly be reliant on cruelly tortured Slave Labour Supply Chains - defying the NEW MODERN SLAVERY CONDITION.

COBBORA SWINDLE FACTORY IS AN UNETHICAL STORM OF NEGLECT AND ABUSE OF NATURE ….
IT’S ALL PAIN & NO GAIN FOR AUSTRALIA AS ENERGY POVERTY RENEWABULLS ARE THE ASBESTOS OF THE FUTURE!

This plan shows “a lack of care that demonstrates reckless disregard for the safety or lives of others, which is so great it appears to be a conscious violation of other people's rights to safety.”

Three things are clear about the diabolical NSW Electricity (RenewaBULL) Infrastructure Roadmap & BLACKOUT BOWEN Directives:
👉🏻Many landscapes will never be the same;
👉🏻Our life-sustaining soil & water will be contaminated;
👉🏻Electricity will become far more expensive and much less reliable;
👉🏻None of this will alter the climate and
👉🏻Australia’s Electricity Grid will be under the Control of our most Hostile Enemy - the Chinese Communist Party.

As Patricia Adams so aptly states in China's Energy Dream -
“Carbon dioxide reduction only makes sense for those China wishes to harm & supplant."

👏It’s great to see RENEW ECONOMY are finally printing a few facts when they quote our objections!🙌
🙏Thanks Giles

I SOLELY SUPPORT THE TRANSMISSION FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY IN NEW SOUTH WALES FOR THE FUTURE.

This is environmental injustice in action — dumping toxic, risky electrical infrastructure on rural communities that lack the political representation to resist.
It appears that the Government is deliberately poisoning our life-sustaining land and water or that they have rocks in their head - it’s probably both!!

No reliable baseline groundwater studies have been conducted to assess the risk of PFAS, lithium, and heavy metal leaching into aquifers.
Given the known risks, this is a grossly negligent oversight that threatens agriculture, drinking water, and public health.

The project will not stabilise the grid — it will destabilise it.

Weather-dependent, non-synchronous generation increases the risk of blackouts, frequency fluctuations, and system stress.

The project introduces technical and financial burdens that outweigh any claimed environmental benefit.

Solar farms should not be built on agricultural land by foreign owned companies. If solar is required then it should be located in desert areas or non agricultural land.
