The site—located at the end of the Goulburn Airport runway—has been selected to avoid conflicts with aviation operations and future town expansion.
In response to community feedback, 8 hectares of panels were removed to avoid direct neighbour impacts, and local households are being offered a benefit sharing program.
The project represents a $1 billion investment, supporting 500+ construction jobs and 10–12 permanent roles in the region.
Existing sheep farming will continue under the solar arrays, benefiting from improved shade, animal welfare, and wool quality.
Funding is secured to restore the land at end of life, aligning with NSW’s expectations for State Significant Developments.
The project will contribute $382,500 per year (plus CPI) to local community initiatives over its 35 year operational life.

I fully support this project and believe it will benefit the Goulburn community as a whole . And will generate clean energy which is sustainable moving forward in the future for the whole of NSW .

I am writing to provide conditional support for the project. please see attached document.
Thank you
