Official Caution issued to Elecnor Australia Pty Ltd (SSD-9255) Uralla Shire LGA
On 24 March 2025, NSW Planning issued an Official Caution to Elecnor Australia Pty Ltd (Elecnor), operators of the New England Solar Farm near Uralla, for a failure to implement the New Finds Procedure of the Heritage Management Plan. Elecnor failed to secure a new finds area between 10 and 13 November 2025, resulting in a tractor accessing the area and causing ground disturbance. Elecnor has cooperated with the department’s investigation, and NSW Planning will continue to monitor the site to ensure compliance with conditions of consent.
