Why it matters
Most of the Gundary Plains from Currawang Road in the west to Mount Gundary in the east, Boxers Creek to the North and
Readers Road in the South, will be susceptible to solar farm developments.
Wherever there are High Voltage power lines you are likely to see more Solar Facilities.
If this project is approved it will set a dangerous and irreversible precedent for further inappropriate developments which will change the very agricultural nature of Gundary Plains and similar areas in the Goulburn Mulwaree area.
What is the Gundary Solar Farm proposal ?
1500
Acres of this
SCALE
A large industrial site of
1,500 acres to
be covered by around 670,000
large solar panels
LAND
The site is prime agricultural
land (Class 3) and is classed
as RU1 under the local LEP
(Local Environment Plan)
AESTHETICS
Significant visual impact that
degrades and
devalues the rural landscape
FIRE RISK
A serious fire risk for
neighbours, particularly on the
eastern and southern side from
solar panel and battery fires
and a hampered ability to fight
any fire
that burns onto the facility.
FIRE HAZARD
The people living at the end of Kooringaroo Rd (a NO Through Road) are at significant risk from fires being pushed by north westerly and westerly winds as they will be unlikely to be able to escape.

RADIATION
As a large electricity facility
the amount of exposure to
electromagnetic radiation
is unknown
NOISE
Construction noise levels over
100dB and operation noise over
95dB every 15 minutes
REAL ESTATE
Neighbours and near
neighbours’ properties will
be devalued.
LOCAL IMPACT
The power will be sent to
Canberra or Sydney,
not Goulburn
(as advised by Lightsource bp)
The Solar Electricity Facility
has an expected life of 35 years,
whereas agriculture/farming
has occurred on the Gundary
Plain for over 200 years and
should remain as prime
agricultural land.
OUR FUTURE
If approved this facility will set
a dangerous and irreversible
precedent for further
inappropriate
developments on the
Gundary Plains and around
Goulburn
SUSTAINABILITY
It might affect your property!
If you can see the WHITE TANK on the eastern side of Windellama Rd (from 1630 to 961) you will see a large portion of the solar facility. If you can see the high voltage power lines you may see a large portion of the solar facility. If you live in the vicinity of the “Old Gundary” entrance at 961 Windedellama Road, you will see the large sub-station.
Even if you can't see it - this will affect the value of property throughout the region.
It covers 638ha (1576 acres)
The magnitude –
the scale is that of
an industrial facility
STOP
GUNDARY
SOLAR FARM
The size of this proposal
is 2.7 km wide!
The maximum output
of 400MW will be created by some 670,000 large 600W solar panels which we have been told will be made in China.
