Members of a small Queensland farming town just 100km north of Brisbane are pushing the state government to fast-track approval for a massive 400MW solar PV farm.
The proposal – which would be by far the biggest solar array in Australia, and the Southern Hemisphere, and one on the biggest in the world – is being pushed by a small local company called Energy Makers.
General manager Dale Rhall says the approvals for the project have been frustrated by the local Somerset regional council, so the developers have asked state MPs to call on the government to take it up and “call it in” as a “project of major significance.”
