Romani Battery Energy Storage System

I object because this project places local landscapes at risk. The battery offers limited return for substantial environmental cost. Fire and noise concerns remain unresolved. The volume of objections indicates widespread concern.
Can the proponent explain the long-term waste-disposal plan for degraded battery cells when disposal remains a global challenge?
Can they explain?

I object to the Romani BESS because it will permanently disturb habitat and degrade farmland. Fire and noise risks remain insufficiently addressed, and the battery’s limited benefit does not justify its footprint. The large number of objections demands attention. How can the proponent promise restoration of the site after decommissioning when no evidence exists that disturbed ecosystems can ever be fully recreated?
What is the capability of this installation? It is cost effect for the monies spent?

This development will permanently damage ecosystems and farming land. Lithium batteries pose fire and chemical risks, while offering only hours of energy. Public objections highlight community unease. How will the project prevent toxic plume drift in a fire, when plume behaviour cannot be fully controlled?

Samsung C&T’s Toxic Contaminating, Life Threatening Thermal Runaway, Romani BESS plan will be impossible to contain when it inevitably explodes and burns for days - with poisonous compounds in the smoke & BESS residue pouring into irreplaceable food growing soil and the vital water system .

Only evil ideologues who seek to do us harm would approve such poisonous infrastructure contaminating our food bowls with dangerous chemicals like Hydrofluoric Acid and forever chemical Bis-FASI PFAS.

Typically, there is not even a decommissioning or remediation bond – ensuring the foolish pariah Hosts and careless Council who has failed in its Duty of Care to do its Due Diligence - will ultimately be saddled with this Toxic mess when Samsung C&T simply walk away, leaving a monumental pile of toxic, unrecyclable battery waste & liabilities for them to be cursed with forever.

I object because the proposal sacrifices important habitat for infrastructure that provides limited energy storage. Fire and noise risks exacerbate community concern. Objections should be respected.
Why has no independent acoustics model been published to verify real-world noise impacts?
This defiantly need addressed.

I oppose the Romani BESS due to its environmental footprint and unresolved fire and noise hazards. The battery’s usefulness is small compared to its disruption. Objections must be heard. Can the proponent demonstrate that soil integrity will remain stable after construction, when compaction and chemical risk are not fully addressed
Native habitat and valuable rural land will be permanently affected. Fire and noise concerns persist. Public objections underscore widespread dissatisfaction. Why is there no independent risk assessment for cascading battery failures, which HAVE occurred internationally?

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.
CONFIDENTIAL:
I object because BESS projects are too damaging to the communities, landscapes, environment and animals. what happens when they catch fire? How will the noise from BESS impact livestock and native wildlife? Not only are they dangerous, they are an absolute eye-sore. Let's put these closer to the cities so all the NIMBYs can marvel at what their vote has given them. Leave our landscapes alone and our government needs to do better.
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.

This infrastructure is too dangerous to the neighbouring properties and communities. BESS factories are a significant fire risk. BESS factories cause significant noise pollution. Stop destroying rural land and landscapes with these toxic and destructive projects. I object to this project.

I object to the Romani BESS 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!!

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.

Romani BESS is an extremely dangerous plan with no long term benefits whatsoever to Australia.

Taxpayers are sick to death of being forced to subsidise sabotaging unethical, CCP produced, energy poverty, filthy, renewaBULL junk like this that costs a fortune despite only lasting about 10 years as well as poisoning the site, surrounding land, water, the air and Riverina families when it explodes like a TOXIC BOM!

This battery energy storage system 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 broader community risk their lives and step up to fight fires for infrastructure that they never wanted there in the first place?

BESS factories are destroying the landscapes and significantly devaluing residential, agricultural and commercial properties within rural communities. Nobody would want to live anywhere near this heap of fire-causing garbage.
Nuclear MUST be explored. I OBJECT to the BESS and ALL renewable projects that are proposed for Australia I object to the Romani BESS. Leave rural Australia ALONE!

Pathetically Incapable, Market Manipulating, Astronomically Costly Romani BESS cannot provide synchronous inertia — a critical component of real grid stability.
This highly toxic, poisonous PFAS proposal is the complete antithesis of “clean” and fails to include independent electrical engineering analysis confirming its alleged reliability or contribution to base-load stability.

BESS is dangerous and brings hazards to the project and community.
The noises from this BESS project will have negative impacts on the nearby livestock and wildlife. These impacts will be evident in not only everyday life for the animals, but also during breeding and birthing cycles. BESS carries significant fire risk.

Samsung C&T’s ROMANI BESS is a horrible plan that would have devastating, toxic impacts on the environment, precious biodiversity, soil heritage, water supplies, all living creatures & all Australian people now & for future generations.

Everyone can see that RenewaBULL Swindle Factories are imploding around the world & greedy, gullible Host pariahs will be left with a tragic, impossibly costly mess that will devastate us all.

NSW Environmental Planning & Assessment Act (EP&A) obligations are completely defied by this seriously hazardous Romani BESS EIS which totally lacks credible, independent toxicology and environmental health studies on fire risk, chemical contamination and soil degradation.

CONFIDENTIAL
Local farmers, homes and businesses face losing critical water supply, should this project go ahead. How would the community get through periods of drought and water restrictions when this infrastructure would clearly be given water priority? BESS projects are a significant fire risk. Will Chris Bowen be there on the end of a hose helping put this out? Doubt it.

Any economic licence for Lithium-ion Battery Energy Storage Systems like this ECOCIDAL ROMANI BESS plan has been forged.

The idea that a Fake Green Rort like Romani BESS would ever lower electricity prices has been debunked by independent economic analysts.

Instead, it will lead to costly subsidies, higher household bills, and decades-long costs in grid stabilisation and remediation.

Please see attached objection.
