Modification 2 Decentralised BESS

This hazardous, toxic contaminating BESS is nothing but a Ticking-Time-Bomb that will result in life-threatening, poisonous fallout from battery fires which threatens Public Health and Safety, seriously risks irreversible contamination of farmland, fisheries, and water catchments, with long-term consequences for generations to come.

Another foreign company bringing toxic, unrecyclable, rubbish into our community. Fire risk, thermal runaway risk, diesel generator usage, not in the public interest, slave labour/child labour used in the mining of the raw materials, toxic mining process for lithium, environmentally destructive, no resources or training to deal with fire in this BESS. Enables project owner to 'game' the electricty market at the expense of electricity consumers. Enabling our power infrastructure to be controlled by foreign companies puts us at risk.

Australia’s manufacturing capacity has been sacrificed by the unreliable, unaffordable, weather dependent RUIN-A-BULL EXPERIMENT!

The collapse of Australia’s only battery manufacturer seemed designed to fail - leaving our nation fully dependent on imports - predominately from our most hostile enemy - wrecking our sovereignty and security.

THIS BESS IS OUR ENEMY!

Where’s the credible defence against BESS sabotage?
Government approvals of unethical, insecure CCP produced components shows no public threat modelling, no independent cyber testing, and no sovereign control requirements for BESS assets.

Repetitive, catastrophic BESS Thermal Runaway FIRES demonstrate systematic failure.
Multiple fires at the same facilities prove these events are not rare accidents, but predictable outcomes of flawed technology and weak regulation.

Biodiversity loss and human harm is totally predictable from this poisonous BESS plan.
Post-fire testing shows seriously detrimental human health impacts, wetlands and ecosystems accumulate heavy metals, threatening wildlife and conservation areas.

It’s completely irresponsible that dodgy developers like this and complicit, brain-dead Approving Bodies are downplaying POISONOUS RENEWABULLS - THE ASBESTOS OF THE FUTURE!

As BESS fires release hydrogen fluoride and metal particulates, posing respiratory, neurological, and cancer risks, serious questions need to be asked about the very real, life threatening consequences of these treacherous plans.

As the RenewaBULL Rort is a complete failure with rotten carpetbaggers sending Australia to ruin - this toxic BESS plan has no place in an ESSENTIAL, INDEPENDENT, SECURE, RELIABLE, AFFORDABLE, AUSTRALIAN POWER SYSTEM BASED ON AUSTRALIAN COAL & an AUSTRALIAN NUCLEAR POWER INDUSTRY.

The use of industrial battery storage introduces hazardous materials into a rural area that has not historically been exposed to such risks.

Fire suppression systems that rely on chemical foams increase the likelihood of PFAS entering the environment if containment systems fail. Who will secure this BESS.

The proposal does not clearly outline how groundwater monitoring will be conducted to detect PFAS or other contaminants following an incident.

Battery degradation over time increases the likelihood of internal faults, heat generation, and eventual fire risk as the system ages.

Once a battery enters thermal runaway, it may continue to burn internally even when external flames appear to be controlled.

I object to the BESS modification to this project, This is a CCP project and we should be alarmed.

The environmental assessment does not adequately consider the long-term consequences of a single major fire event.

I object to the BESS modification to this wind project
Why is our government forcing FIRE HAZARDOUS infrastructure and UNRELIABLE energy on our nation at the expense of rural Australia?!?
Save the land that supports and produces food and fibre for Australia. Put these elsewhere! Stop bowing down and bending over to the EVIL powers of the WEF.
These projects are destroying rural Australia and will send future generations broke!!

PFAS contamination can spread well beyond the site boundary through water movement, rainfall, and soil transfer.

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.
I object because this project will cause permanent toxic damage to the natural environment and impact those around it. There will be too many toxic chemicals entering the landscapes and environment as a result of this project. I do not believe BESS should be added, nor should this project even begin.
