The proposal encompasses the construction and operation of a solar photovoltaic array over an area up to 1000 hectares, with associated infrastructure, maintenance facilities, access tracks, overhead or underground powerline to connect to the nearby substation and upgrades to adjacent roads. The proposal is classified as State Significant Development under the NSW Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and requires consent from the NSW Minister for Planning. Maoneng is an international renewable energy investment and development company headquartered in Australia. Since 2010, the founders of Maoneng have had the vision and ambition to be a respected global leader for delivering sustainable energy solutions for commercial, industrial and government clients. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), describing the proposal and assessing its potential environmental impacts, was prepared by NGH Environmental and submitted to the NSW Department of Planning and Environment and placed on public exhibition between the 4 February and 5 March 2017. Key environmental issues, based on the requirements of the Secretary’s Environmental Assessment Requirements (SEARs) for the preparation of the EIS, included: • Aboriginal cultural heritage • Biodiversity • Visual amenity • Noise These issues were investigated via specialist assessments. Lower risk issues were investigated primarily by desktop assessment. 1.2 PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT This Submissions Report identifies and addresses submissions made in regard to the EIS for the proposal. NGH Environmental has prepared this submissions report on behalf of Maoneng to fulfil the requirements of Section 75H of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. The purpose of the Submissions Report is to: • Consider and respond to the issues raised in the public and agency submissions for the proposal. • Describe any changes to the proposal, including a revised set of proposed mitigation measures. 1.3 PROJECT SUMMARY 1.3.1 Site location The proposal site is located around 17km south of the Balranald town centre and around 140km south east of Mildura, within the Balranald Shire Council Local Government Area (LGA). The site is accessed from Balranald‐Tooleybuc Road (also known as Yanga Way and Mallee Highway) located to the east. The 16-194 Final 1 Submissions Report Sunraysia Solar Farm proposed solar farm would connect to an existing substation, approximately two kilometres north of the site (Figure 1). 1.3.2 Key components of the proposal The proposal site covers 1000ha of land. Key Infrastructure components are illustrated in Figure 2 and would include: • Solar arrays: approximately 750,000 solar panels (variously spaced) • Single axis tracking system units (east‐west variety; approximately 10,000 units), north oriented fixed‐tilt units, east‐west facing fixed‐tilt units or a combination of these technologies • Up to 100 PV Boxes or PV Skids, each of them containing an inverter and a 22 or 33kV transformer • Delivery/Substation units • Energy storage • Onsite cabling and electrical connections between solar panels, combiner boxes and power conversion units (inverters), power cables, optic fibre cables, conduits, trenches. • The internal reticulation of power would be at 22 or 33kV. • Internal gravel access tracks to allow for construction traffic, site maintenance

  • Anthony Roberts MEDIA RELEASE
    Anthony Roberts Minister for Planning Minister for Housing Special Minister of State MEDIA RELEASE Thursday February 8 2018 NSW LEADS NATION FOR SOLAR FARMS The number of solar farms approved in NSW doubled in 2017 and another already approved this year, with future capacity to support more than 1,800 jobs and power about half a million homes with sustainable energy. Minister for Planning and Housing, Anthony Roberts, said the state’s planning system gave the green light to 10 projects in 2017, twice the number of projects approved the year before, and has approved NSW’s first solar plant for 2018. “Once the 10 solar projects are up and running, they will have a combined solar capacity of nearly 1,200 megawatts and collectively reduce carbon emissions by over 2.5 million tonnes, which is equivalent to taking around 800,000 cars off the road,” Mr Roberts said. “The projects are all located in regional NSW and will support around 1,800 construction jobs. “Sunny Central West NSW proved to be a hotspot in 2017, with six of the 10 proposals coming from the region. “It may be early in 2018, and yet we’ve already approved another 170MW solar project in the Riverina, known as the Finley Solar Project. “Our state already benefits from three operating solar farms in Nyngan, Moree and Broken Hill. There are another seven solar projects currently under construction across regional NSW in Parkes, Yoogali, Manildra, Dubbo, Glenn Innes, Goulburn and Forbes. “The Nyngan Solar Plant in the state’s North-West is the largest operating solar farm in Australia and is visible from outer space.” Minister for Resources and Energy, Don Harwin, added that the popularity of solar power was clear.

  • Major Project Assessment
    STATE SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT Limondale Solar Farm (SSD 8025) 1. BACKGROUND Limondale Sun Farm Pty Ltd (the Applicant) proposes to develop a new 250 megawatt (MW) solar farm (the project) near Balranald (see Figure 1). Figure 1: Regional Context 1 Limondale Solar Assessment Report Figure 2: Project Layout 2 Limondale Solar Assessment Report 1.1 Project setting The project site is 2,049 hectares (ha) and is located off Yanga Way, approximately 14 kilometres (km) south of the town of Balranald, which is approximately 230 km west of Griffith. A Crown Land Travelling Stock Reserve (TSR) bounds the site to the east. The proposed transmission line (500 m) crosses through the TSR to the Transgrid Balranald substation to the east. The development footprint within the project site is 1,025 ha. It is relatively flat in nature and consists mostly of cleared agricultural land that has been used for cropping and grazing over several decades. There are very few landowners in close proximity to the site. The nearest residence is located approximately 2.9 km north of the site (see Figure 2), while a further 5 residences are located up to 6 km from the site. The project adjoins the recently approved Sunraysia Solar Farm to the south. The Department has assessed the potential cumulative impacts of both projects if construction occurred at the same time, including traffic, accommodation and employment considerations. Balranald has recently been identified as a ‘region of interest’ for renewable energy projects because it has good solar resources and spare capacity on the electricity network. 1.2 Project description The project involves the construction of a new solar farm with an initial capacity of 250 MW.
