A regional town east of Toowoomba could soon have a new solar farm situated next to it, after plans were submitted with the Lockyer Valley Regional Council.
Applicant Gatton Solar Farm Pty Ltd lodged plans late last year for a new 12-megawatt solar project on Adare and Goos Rd outside Gatton.
According to the report by Precinct Urban Planning, the farm would be built in two stages over more than 19 hectares and include a 4.6MW inverter and a 4.5MW-hour battery.
“The solar and battery farm is situated adjacent to a 33kV high voltage transmission line and is located 1.5 km from the Gatton substation and will be connected to high voltage transmission grid,” the report said.
