Planning permission has been granted to two major solar projects in Victoria and Queensland.
Prairie Solar Farm is a proposed 240 MWac project located near Mitiamo in northern Victoria and received planning permission from Loddon Shire Council on January 14, 2019. The Clarke Creek Solar Farm is located north of Rockhampton in Queensland and received a Material Change of Use permit from Isaac Regional Council for the 315 MWac project.
The planning applications received positive feedback from Loddon Shire Council, Isaac Regional Council, and referral agencies for their high quality and consideration of a broad range of aspects.
Pacific Hydro can now commission detailed technical studies and analysis to progress both projects.
