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.

Another foreign owned BESS planning to profit from electricity consumers. Another fire risk in a regional environment where volunteers will be the only attendees during a fire. The cumulative impact on the area is unacceptable. This is not sustainable as the whole lot will be redundant in less than 10 years, likely the site will not be restored and the components will be carted off to land fill. Not in the public interest at all.

This project is NOT in the public interest. Only the developer will benefit thanks to the taxpayers subsidies and gaming of the electricity market. This project will become land fill in less than 10 years having destroyed the environment. Then what? Environment destroyed, and foreign owner nowhere to be found for decommissioning.

Stop wrecking the environment so foreign developers can profit from domestic electricity users. We want 24/7 abundant and affordable power. Not this toxic crap that has to be rebuilt every 10 years.

It is not in the public interest to destroy the environment so as a foreign owned company can profit from electricity consumers to provide a maximum of 4 hours electricity during peak when there is insufficient wind and no solar in the NEM. Stop destroying our environment so as overseas companies can profit. We want reliable and cheap electricity 24/7.

Please see attached objection submission

This project is nothing more than a taxpayer funded toxic waste dump. The proponent will use this BESS to game the electricity market at the expense of electricty consumers. Short life span, fire hazard, expensive, involves the mining of toxic materials and no certainty of the site ever being restored. This project is not in the public interest.
