The solar farm is to be built on a vacant block of industrial land off Bridge St, which runs of Sydney Road just west of the railway bridge. It’s bounded by the river to the west and the railway line to the east.

A small portion of the land is owned by the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC), which owns the Sydney to Melbourne rail line. It has taken considerable time to negotiate with ARTC to lease this small portion that intersects the land. The ARTC has offered us a generous lease arrangement so we can combine the site into one portion.

The site has good visibility from Sydney Road and from the railway line, making it a great way to show to the rest of the country just what can be achieved by a community group committed to reducing Goulburn’s carbon footprint.
