Maison Dieu Solar Farm

Please see attachment

I support local farmers and their fresh produce. This development threatens the local food scene that I cherish.
Australian Power is far superior & has a minimal environmental footprint compared to this stupid Solar + BESS rubbish that will only work 20% of the time.

I can’t support an Industrial Wasteland that allows toxic waste to ruin its environment, our food supplies & our essential water sources - including the Hunter River.
It’s heartbreaking to see these ruinous plans!

This project is 10metres from our boundary and is at the back of our home ,the EIS states we will have low to medium visual impact and no glare from the solar panels but our back verandah is approximately 5 to 6 feet off the ground so this will mean we will see the solar panels.
What happens to the excess power generated when the battery is fully charged
There will be days when very little power is generated at all .

110,000 PV solar panels is NOT “green”, nor is it environmentally friendly. This is a destructive project polluting 230ha of RU1 land, and all for unreliable and intermittent energy. The government needs to do better for our people and these impacted rural communities.

I object to the overall destruction this project will cause.

This project plans to destroy 230ha 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.

These projects are destroying rural communities, our landscapes, farming business, and our lifestyles. Stop it.

Stop destroying rural landscapes and our environment with this dangerous infrastructure.

To the Assessors
Is it possible to retrieve the comments i have submitted today prior to this one. After 4 hours of composing an objection, I seem to have dropped off. If these comments can be retrieved, I would be extremely grateful.
My objections are total lack of consultation. Had I not visited my property when I did and had an impromptu conversation about the upcoming solar farm, we would have been none the wiser as to the planned development, which had already made it to the SSD Portal. The deplorable excuse of "we perhaps failed to notify you as you didn't reside on the property, and you may have been overlooked" - Please see the large rectangle on the initial proposed development advertised - this is us. When we finally made contact with Terrain Solar, we have been treated with nothing but distain and deception. The Large-Scale Solar Energy Guideline has been totally ignored by Terrain Solar. The publication paper published on the Portal is a complete lie as far as community consultation is concerned. This company has ripped our lifelong dreams apart and pulled the rug out from under our feet. Our land will decrease more than I choose to comprehend at this stage. Terrain Solar clearly has absolutely no compassion as to how hard we have worked or the sacrifices we have made to keep this land - would heart and soul mean anything to them at all. This is without taking in the amenity of the location, the value of prime grazing/farming land - OUR LAND. The zoom meeting brought to my attention the total lack of consideration to myself as a neighboring landowner. The information they claimed to have previously sent me was nonexistent. After an apology, we received this information weeks later. Terrain advised we were accidently overlooked as a Neighbour, but in the same breath, chose to discuss our historical right of way to our property and an offer to relocate an electrical supply from our property to another location (I would call this an asset myself as well as another lie) - Terrain didn't seem to overlook this part of the equation. I am aware that the Original Scoping Report has been resubmitted - the Refinement report brings nothing to myself but the expectation that the development will be approved, and modifications will simply be added and approved after the initial consent is granted. I have been advised that the revised Scope will be of minimal visual impact. May I ask the assessors to visualize the following: Driving your property, visualizing from Maison Dieu Road solar panels, from your access road, visualizing solar panels, from your front paddock where your plan to build your home, visualizing solar panels, from your middle paddock, visualizing solar panels and from your top paddock, visualizing solar panels.
I request my/our objection is taken seriously.
Sincerely
Annette McLeod and Anthony Taggart

The Public Health & Safety Risks to our health & life sustaining soil & water are huge, making it completely inappropriate to trust these irresponsible, greedy, subsidy suckers & the careless State/Federal Government ideologues - making it imperative to require Reputable, Peer Reviewed, Independent Expert Evidence for the whole Assessment & Approval process in considering all points raised - including:- 

*Serious, Irreversible Public Health & Safety Risks 
*Engineering Facts regarding Capacity Factor & Storage Capability,.
*Scientific Facts including toxicity, whole of life emissions, immediate clean-up following sudden Fire/Storm events, recycling & full waste disposal 
*Inappropriate in Rural Zoning - unable to ever return the Agricultural land to its inherent productive capability.
*Toxic Fire Risks
*Toxic Impacts to Water [Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in 2004]
*Threats to Food Production (Paris Agreement)
*Inability for Neighbours to acquire Public Liability Insurance
*No Decommissioning/Remediation Bond
*NO SOCIAL LICENCE
*Water Run-Off & Erosion
*Extensive Weed Seed Burden
*Devaluation of Surrounding Properties
*Inaccurate Visual Eyesore Assessment
*Noise & Lighting Disturbance 
*Dangerous Traffic Hazards 

It is therefore ESSENTIAL to include all of the following to be determined by REPUTABLE, PEER REVIEWED INDEPENDENT EXPERT EVIDENCE NOT the DEVELOPER.

*Determination of all Public Health & Safety Risks to Human Beings/Ecology/Ecosystems including:-
Electrical Force & Electromagnetic Radiation
Toxic Contamination & Smoke Fumes/Residue from Toxic Solar & Filthy BESS PFAS Contamination.

*Cumulative ‘renewable’ contamination impacts - Solar’s numerous Heavy Metals including Lead + BESS PFAS + Bisphenol A (as toxic as Blue Asbestos) shedding from Turbine Blades & pile driving for Turbine bases muddying ground water - which will all likely infiltrate the water table and local Hunter River systems, jeopardizing both our quality of life and broader water infrastructure.

This detrimental, Ruinable Folly is what happens when factual evidence is being ignored to such an extent that catastrophic decisions regarding Australia’s Energy Security are being based on “confection ….. made up evidence - so lacking in integrity that no weight can be placed on it!’ (Federal Court Judge Justice Natalie Charlesworth.)

*Please provide the reputable, peer reviewed, independent Research evidence to substantiate the following statement used by DPHI & IPCN to Approve Industrialised Solar Electricity Generating Works in 2023/24 - whilst deliberately ignoring Expert Witness objections regarding Solar Contamination to the contrary - just because it has been included in the DPIE’s dodgy 2022 Revised Large Scale Solar Guidelines propaganda!

As outlined by NSW Energy Assessment Director:-
“In regard to your query regarding the issue of contamination, the metals in solar panels cannot be easily released into the environment. This is because the metals are enclosed in thin layers between sheets of glass or plastic within the solar panel. Because of this, the use of metals in solar panels has not been found to pose a risk to the environment. To readily release contaminants into the environment, solar panels would need to be ground to a fine dust.

THE GOVERNMENT’S FAILURE ISN’T A GLITCH - IT’S A DESIGN FEATURE!!

Despite considerable Fire damage to highly toxic Cadmium Telluride Solar Panels at Gulgong’s Beryl Solar, NSW DPIE Water has stated that TESTING OF THE SOIL & WATER IS NOT REQUIRED AS IT’S NOT IN THEIR APPROVAL CONDITIONS!

*Please provide the scientific facts - supported by reputable, peer reviewed independent research - as to all the contents - chemical elements/compounds in PV Solar panels - in every part/component of the Solar panel - the numerous heavy metals - including lead & the metalloids - as well as the Toxicity Rating of the panels to be used, proof of their Health & Safety Accreditation midst Food Resource Land & full details of their supply chain - including the polysilicon in the panels.
Please do the same for every part of the BESS & other infrastructure - including the Solar Inverters.

Please provide Terrain Solar/RATCH’s Guarantee that this irresponsible Maison Dieu Solar/BESS plan will NOT ‘Create a Nuisance’ - in causing extensive environmental destruction - damaging water run-off & erosion - as has already occurred at their other wrongly Approved Solar sites - including Bomen, Wagga Solar & Kingaroy as well as inevitable toxic contamination?

*Please document in full detail the whole clean-up scenario for 110,000 panels regarding the immediate clean-up procedure for common occurrences such as Degraded, Broken, Inferior, Hail Fractured or Burnt Solar panels.
*Where will the vast quantities of product essential to coat damaged panels be immediately purchased from?
*Identify the Recycling & Toxic Waste facilities now readily available.

*Where will the essential Decommissioning/Remediation Bond be held?
*Please provide reputable, peer reviewed, independent Engineer & Agricultural Scientist certified detailed plans of Decommissioning & Remediation prior to Construction - with their Expert Assurance that the Maison Dieu Solar + BESS will be returned to its inherent, uncontaminated, Food producing capability.

*How will Terrain/RATCH ensure no person will die from the inevitable FIRES, Electrocution or being overcome by Nitrogen Fumes on top of the related Substation - as has occurred at Wellington North Solar?

As it presently stands, NONE of these ECOCIDAL Industrialised Solar/Wind/BESS disasters will EVER be cleaned up by the Developer - with the gullible Hosts & ultimately the Local Regulatory Authority - Local Council - responsible for any Contamination or Pollution caused by Solar/Wind Electricity Works under the POEO Act.
The DPIE/DPHI have completely failed to do their Due Diligence in Determining & Assessing the Serious/Irreversible Risks.
They are inflicting Moral Hazard on unaware & gullible Councils - by deliberately failing to be transparent - sneakily hiding harmful impacts for Councils/Communities - despite knowing of the damaging consequences & Public Health & Safety Risks from years of factual information provided to them as well as Expert Witness submissions.

NSW Fire & Rescue - SARET Research:-
“There is a general lack of guidance and provisions in building codes, standards, and legislation in relation to safety to address the potential risks from these emerging technologies. Part of the problem is that we do not yet know enough about their probability of failure, their mechanisms of failure and potential consequences of failure.”

The time is coming when those responsible for this deceitful treachery will be held to account for their GROSS NEGLIGENCE - “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.”

WE DO NOT CONSENT TO THE TRANSFER OF OUR WEALTH TO THIS PATHETIC & CONTAMINATING MAISON DIEU SOLAR ELECTRICITY GENERATING WORKS + FILTHY, EXPLOSIVE BESS, THE ASSOCIATED CORPORATE SUBSIDY MINING, THE DELIBERATE DEPRIVATION OF OUR RELIABLE, AFFORDABLE, PLENTIFUL, SECURE, 24/7 AUSTRALIAN POWER, THE IMMENSE ENVIRONMENTAL DESTRUCTION, THE CATASTROPHIC FIRE IMPLICATIONS, THE POISONING OF OUR LIFE-SUSTAINING SOIL & WATER & THE GOVERNMENT/BUREAUCRAT & REGULATOR’S INTENTIONAL CRUELTY!

Please find attached 2 PDF to accompany my submission against Maison Dieu solar farm
Regards John McGrath

The site for this Solar Factory, was and can still be PRIME Agricultural FARM land. This was a Dairy farm. Then abeef farm. Now the landowner cant make money off his land? This land can still be used for Agricultural farming. The land owner has water licensing from the Hunter River.

The site is on a river flat, which floods.

The site has Aboriginal Heritage sites.

The site backs right on 3 neighbours properties, who are not recieving any compensation for LOSS of value to their properties. There is a property currenlty on the market, that has struggled to find a buyer, as this Solar Factory is going to be right accross the road.

The screening using vegetation, will not affect the view, Even with 10ft vegetation, home owners will only see solar panels from their dining areas.

None of the materials to build Solar Factories are recyclable. Where do all these materials go when the project ends? In 40yeras time, let todays toddlers work that out. What a cock up. The amount of material dug from the ground to make the materials is raping our planet! We are only here for 80=100yeras, what are leaving behind for our childrens children?

Coal mines in the area, must purchase neighouring properties. Why is Solar Factories any different?

Terrain Solar have been deceptive from day one! In talks with the Landowner of the site for 2years. NO Consultation with neighbours. The site landowner made contact with neighbours, advising what he wanted to do. Terrain Solar, said all neighbours were for this project, without talking to a single person! Terrain Solars original plans, showed NO houses on the border of the site. There is in fact 3 houses, which have backyards adjacent to the site. Why is Terrain Solar been decieving? To get this rushed through with no objections. NO neighbours, no worries? How about someone from the state Government come out and look at the site. Actaully drive there. There are houses, with people living there. These houses will lose value, and would need to be given away if this project goes ahead.

The land, has fauna that calls this home, their CASTLE. Even with security fencing, wild pigs and even deer will get into the site. When they are itchy, they will rub on anything they can. Eventually damage will be casued to the site, resulting in injury or death to the fauna. If there is a flood, whilst this damage is there, how many people will be electrucuted?

If the Factory suffers an electrical fault, resulting in a fire, Who is going to put this fire out? Electricity will be still generatered.

The site has many trees, that are well over 100years old. The site has numerous natural waterways. Black Swans frequent this area. Wedge Tail Eagles have been seen here. All protected Australian Speices! NOt mention Magpies, snakes etc.

Solar Factories need the same legislation as coal mines!

I object on the basis that the sunk energy and materials, for the short working life, causes more harm to the environment than any purported benefit. Also the toxic fire hazard of massive batteries to humans, livestock and wild life can not be mitigated to any useful degree.

I strongly object to this project. Iris on prime food producing land which must be kept safe from the potential contamination from these developments. Italy has banned all wind solar and Bess on their prime ag land Australia should do the same.

Maison Dieu Solar Farm project Cease and Desist being developed on a 90-hectare site 10 km northwest of Singleton, Hunter Valley.

Rooftops ONLY for this project. Lots of Jobs for Locals. Lots of Benefits All.round for Locals.

Cease and Desist approximately 110,000 solar panels upon Hunter Valley Lands.

Ratch Australia, the local subsidiary of Thailand-based Ratch Group, and Sydney-based solar developer Terrain Solar, which was acquired by energy giant AGL last month, Go Rooftops Only for All your Projects Now from Now. Cease and Desist Industrialisation of Lands Hunter Valley.

The developers said they have refined the project to “ensure potential environmental and social impacts were minimised and benefits to the community and stakeholders were maximised.”

Um.....Benefits Who and Which ? Not the Land. Nor the Catchments Hunter River Catchments note already under Cumulative Impacts and Not needing any further Impacts Cumulative long term upon the Lands Hunter Valley needing Love and Care Now From Now. Coal be the Future and So Be it in Gunnedah area now from now. Allow Hunter Valley region to Be Free of Cumulative Impacts increasing.

Used Less FF and Build a Brand New Coal Fired Power Station in Gunnedah region close to Coal mines. A Better result for All. Less Toxic Environment Yes. Oh Yes. Yes yes yes.

Australia only needs EIGHT Brand New Coal Fired Power Stations you see. We Don't need En Masse Toxic Infrastructure using the Resources we must be using Less of for Gods Sake, and With Respect of course. Gunnedah can offer a Brand New Coal Fired Power Station neat the Coal mines in the region. This is a Far Better option for NSW All Environment All On Country Environment.

Cease and Desist Solar Farms Now, Right Now. They will Never be Decommissioned will they.

Hunter-Central Coast Renewable Energy Zone Cease and Desist Immediately Now. Replace with ONE Brand New Coal Fired Power Station near Coal mines Gunnedah region.

“Existing NSW coal-fired power plants are planned to be retired by 2040.." Help them continue until Brand New Coal Fired Power Stations are built in NSW. One in Gunnedah. Two elsewhere. Equals THREE only to Lessen Cumulative Impacts to Environment All On Country Environment NSW, under Threat from Agenda Renewables Correct.

New low emission energy sources are required to replace power plants and to meet future energy demands, and these are Three ONLY Brand New Coal Fired Power Stations for NSW. Three ONLY. ONLY Three.

Upper Hunter MP Dave Layzell has refused to retract claims he made in parliament about a company's behaviour towards residents living next to its proposed Upper Hunter solar farm development.

A Maison Dieu resident views a landscape featuring cattle grazing, kangaroos and wildlife that could be replaced by thousands of solar panels. A solar farm !! He said the project had been forced onto the area's 137 residents without adequate consultation.

Power homes with solar and wind on Rooftops ONLY, And with Coal.

The Net Zero agenda is the Greatest Scam So Far offered by gov.au-multinationals-global and Must Cease Immediately Now. It has Increased Emissions and will unless it is Ceased Immediately.

Emissions are a number of Issues Unaddressed, yes Unaddressed by gov.au.

Zero emissions solar is Not possible.

I Demand an Immediate Moratorium on Solar farms when the Alternative is Rooftops Only for All Solar, or on frames in backyards, to power Households. Far more Benefit all round is this alternative.

Brand New Coal Fired Power Stations built from Now is the other Alternative. Three ONLY for NSW. One near Gunnedah near the Coal mines. Spare the Hunter Valley from Solar Farms. Why aren't Rooftops the Only place for Solar.

Cease and Desist Maison Dieu Solar Farm Proposal Immediately Now.

Get the right Actions occurring on NSW Country please.

Cease and Desist Solar Farms Immediately Now.

So Far Nothing has been Offered by NSW Planning Departments, to alleviate Impacts Cumulative to NSW Catchments.

In fact Far Worse actions have been undertaken by NSW Planning Departments. It's because they are Ignorant. Yes, Ignorant. And A Threat to NSW Vital Catchments Great Divide to Oceans Pacific and Southern.

What's the matter with Rooftops for All Solar ? Get them Off Countryside Now. From Now.

Help Australians Future generations.

Build Three Only Brand New Coal Fired Power Stations in NSW, and Cease and Desist All further Renewables projects Immediately from Now.

Industrial sized zones of solar panels are not what is required, they are taking away from prime agricultural land. It is far more important for Agricultural farming to be prioritised in order to feed and clothe the nation.
I object to this solar project

A blight on God’s land and nothing green or environmentally friendly about mass solar panels industrial zones.
I object!
