Projects like this are no good for rural communities in NSW and in this case. Keep renewable energy projects and infrastructure out of rural Australia and put them closer to the cities. We need to protect our landscapes, wildlife and lifestyles!
I object to the overall destruction this solar farm project will cause.
These solar projects carry significant fire risks.

Why are renewable energy projects being dumped on rural landscapes? Why are rural communities left to fend for themselves as a result of bad governance and poor decision making? I object to this project because I do not believe that rural communities should house solar farms and renewable energy projects. Not only is this a ghastly and permanent sight on the landscapes, but this would be a disaster when it catches alight due to fire. The toxic implications as a result of this would be of such a significant level and not only the community, but the wildlife will suffer as a result.

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 this project.
This solar farm project will destroy a small rural community. The toxic run-off from such infrastructure associated with solar factory farms will be damaging to nearby properties and wildlife.
These projects bring with them too many detrimental and dangerous issues pertaining to the environment, visual amenities, health to livestock and wildlife, and health and safety to neighbouring properties.

I am objecting to this project because I do not believe that rural agricultural land should be the home for industrial renewable energy zones. Solar infrastructure has too many negative side effects on both the health of people, environment, animals and landscapes. If these projects are so "green", successful, safe, and fantastic, then they should be built closer to the cities and not in rural/regional communities.
Stop destroying our rural landscapes, communities and our environment with these unreliable and intermittent projects.

This infrastructure is too dangerous to the neighbouring properties and communities. Solar panel factories are a significant fire risk. I object to this project.

I would like to begin by acknowledging the farmers of the land within our great nation of Australia today. I pay my respects to Australia’s past, present and future farmers who have and will continue to battle setbacks such as renewable energy destruction, drought, floods, vermin plagues, diseases, and government policy, all so they can provide Australia with food and fibre. I acknowledge that these setbacks come at a high price of mental health, and many have taken their lives as a result due to such pressures. I extend this respect and am thankful for the sacrifices those within the agricultural industry make in order to provide Australia with the essentials; I acknowledge the agricultural industry as the backbone of our nation
We need to unite and fight these developers and the Australian government for forcing this upon us.

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.
