STAGE TWO CIVILS TO START
June 2024
Progress stalled. There have been some hiccups with the Construction Certificate which has delayed the start of the Civil stage 2 works. Council have said they are giving the project top priority and we are hoping that the approval will be forthcoming.

COMMUNITY FUND
“The bottom line is this: as we get clean, we have to get fair.”
Naomi Klein.
To spread the benefits of the solar farm to those who find it hard paying for their energy, we have set up a community fund. The fund will be administered by one of the agencies in Goulburn to assist those experiencing energy poverty.
A percentage of the profits of the farm will be set aside for the Community Fund, and investors can, if they wish, commit some or all of their dividends to the fund to boost it further.
