Message
DPHI’s modification route wrongly avoids transparency.

Lithium-ion BESS are toxic, unsustainable, and fire-prone, threaten agricultural productivity, water safety, and biodiversity, and require full Planning Portal exhibition.

Swan Hill , Victoria
Message
The project is an environmental and health disaster in the making.
Hazards include hydrogen fluoride gas, PFAS contamination, thermal runaway, and short operational life, all of which must be properly exhibited and scrutinised.

Message
This project is financially reckless and environmentally toxic.
Lithium-ion BESS last only 10–15 years, threaten biodiversity, agricultural land, and water sources, and DPHI’s desktop assessments are misleading, necessitating full exhibition - not sneakily fudging through wrongly as a Modification.

Message
DPHI’s modification route is procedurally improper and dangerous.
Manildra Solar has never included a BESS.
Exhibition is non-negotiable.

Risks include thermal runaway fires, toxic chemical contamination, lack of decommissioning, and irreversible soil impacts.

Message
This BESS is short-lived, toxic, and fire-prone, releases hydrogen fluoride and PFAS, and is CCP-dependent.

DPHI’s attempt to fast-track it as a modification is irresponsible.
Full Planning Portal exhibition is mandatory.

Message
Manildra MOD-3 undermines energy security, public health, and environmental integrity.

BESS creates irreversible land contamination, toxic chemical hazards, fire risks, and grid instability, demanding proper exhibition and IPCN scrutiny.

Message
The Social Impact Assessment is irrelevant and misleading.
The BESS poses life-threatening chemical hazards, irreversible biodiversity damage, short-term storage inefficiency, and fire hazards, necessitating full exhibition.
Name Withheld
Object
Swan Hill , Victoria
Message
This modification is legally and ethically indefensible.
The BESS is CCP-supplied, toxic to land and water, fire-prone, and offers no meaningful energy security, demanding proper exhibition.
