I support this project because it gives me, my family, my neighbors and the rest of the planet a little extra breathing space to continue towards the transition to net zero carbon emissions. To try and reign in the carbon being pumped into the earths atmosphere from fossil fuels, ie: oil, coal, gas for the end use of transport and electricity generation. The effluent coming from the burning of fossil fuels, creates the explosive new weather conditions, which has changed the way we live. Through greater variability in rainfall events, powerful wind storms and ever increasing drought and then fire. These emissions will continue to grow until someone, maybe a lot of us see the value in renewable energy to help reduce green house gases, blanketing our atmosphere and degrading our lives. These costs are already being passed onto all of us by raised prices through the goods and services due to increased duration and frequency of weather events affecting food, transport logistics, mining, insurance. What stage water restrictions are we going to get to in the Jindera area this year? To keep doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome is nonproductive. This solar farm gives all of us an opportunity to put our region on the map with solar technology adding to the tide of change towards transition to net zero emissions.

I Support the Glenellen AgriSolar Farm development as it will provide sustainable clean energy from the sun whilst also providing crops and feed underneath the panels for sheep grazing.

BCD advice attached

Please find attached WaterNSW's response.

Shouldn’t be built here because it’s like a suburban to Albury-Wodonga.
It’s also good farming country.
Please build solar farms in desert country areas.
I’m a resident along the road and wouldn’t like to have the dust, dirt and noise from building this project.

I have particular interest in this project both for the renewable energy it will provide in order for it to help its renewable targets. I am also interested due to the employment that it will create in view of the way everything is at the minute. I also know the actual land holders where the construction will take place. They are good people and well respected around the area. This is a good project not only for them but the entire community. Although some community members may not realize that fact.

My address as documented is; 99 Lindner Rd, my back fence will be apart of the boundary for this proposed solar farm.
The direct view from my kitchen will be of this project. Some may say it could be worse... but for me I can't imagine anyone would support such a loss of such breath taking country side. As well document, this area is PRIME agricultural land, how anyone could justify turning such valuable land into a solar farm clearly doesn't know what peace and productivity the country side of this quality can offer. My main concerns are;

1. Proposed Transport route – Urana road, Jindera- Walla Walla road - this then lead to Lindner Rd - that I travel daily, my children ride their bikes to meet the school bus daily - how can any safety be guaranteed for them accessing this road for school and minimal disruption to our travels, when such a significant increase of traffic is proposed along this road. I live here and I will choose my route to access the main roads and that road is the quickest and most direct route, I will not be forced to travel other ways around to my house. I pay my rates to access this road also. The Corner of Ortlipp Rd and Lindner Rd are mere meters from my house (and my neighbours who is unable to have a voice, due to personal reasons), that this increase of 200 plus vehicle a day will be a constant disruption with noise, dust, road delays etc. We live here not the developers and I ask them how would they feel about owning a piece of serene country side, a place for their children to grown up on, to be country kids and get away from town life, when this would be in our back yard.

Clearing of fully establish gum trees/ other native vegetation – how, I can't get my head around clearing such incredible and historical vegetation (I have attached a photo of the view from my kitchen window - every tree you see from my back fence to the table top mountain in the horizon will be CLEARED)...... in 30yrs time how do they suggest a "decommission strategy that will ensure the land is returned to its predevelopment state"? This again would be a loss to the community and the majesty of the area.

I may only be one voice, but I have to express my opinion. I had developers stand in my kitchen and tell me that the environmental reports state that there would be no visual impact from my property... He stood there and could not find the words to reassure me, that this was fact, when he could see with his own eyes the direct impact this will have on my view, not to mention the financial loss on the value of my property! So basically I will be stuck with a property that will loose retail value and an inability to sell, as who would want to live with that in the back yard. How am I compensated for this if the project goes ahead?

I again may only be one person / one voice, but I have travels across vast areas of this country that people (especially CEO's of companies in Sydney) couldn't even imagine the remoteness and desert like country side that would be more suitable for this project. I ask regardless of the power station in close proximity, why would they not consider these proposed project in areas that can't benefit from grazing live stock, to utilise the hash climates and longer day light hours and sun exposer to maximise capabilities for solar farming. I have lived here only briefly and in this time is have experienced high level of rainfall, overcast days, morning of thick fog that doesn't clear till mid morning, it just doesn't seem like the ideal place to generate and maximise the potential of a solar farm, and I propose that there are other areas that would be more fitting for such projects.
