The 368 MWdc Solar Farm will comprise of 634,000 solar panels over an area of approximately 900 ha. New entranceways will be created on Marlborough Sarina Road and there will be access tracks created inside the project area for construction and operational activities. The project will be grid connected at Powerlink’s existing Broadsound substation. The Broadsound Battery will be located adjacent to the solar farm substation, within the existing project site.

A temporary construction camp has been constructed on site to house up to 500 workers during the construction phase.

The project has received Development Approval from Isaac Regional Council and received a ‘not a controlled action’ referral decision under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
