Are you concerned for our town and our beautiful countryside? Take some time and go to Council's e-planning page to gather facts about this development application. It's up to you, I know how I feel. If you require more answers, please contact Somerset Regional Council to discuss and hopefully gain more understanding about this DA. (DA 24212)Current timelines with Council: In this instance, Council has agreed to extend the period by an additional 20 business days, with the decision period now ending on 3 March 2025. Should you have any further queries in relation to the above, please contact Council’s Senior Planner, Madeline Jelf on (07) 5424 4000 or mail@somerset.qld.gov.au.Enervest Pty Ltd C/- SLR Consulting Australia Pty Ltd 10 Kings Road NEW LAMBTON NSW 2305 Email: tklok@slrconsulting.com Attention: Theo Klok Dear Sir / Madam, Further Advice Given under section 35 of the Development Assessment Rules Property location: Real property description: Development description: Esk Kilcoy Road, Hazeldean Lot 13 SP294647, Lot 8 SP155141, Lot 5 RP90047 Development Permit for Material change of use - Substation and Major electricity infrastructure (Battery storage facility); and Development Permit for Reconfiguring a lot - Subdivision by lease and access easement I refer to the above-described application. Council is continuing its assessment of the application and advises that additional information is required to demonstrate compliance with the relevant assessment benchmarks: Planning matters :Inconsistencies 1. There are a number of inconsistencies within the development application’s expert reports, including:  The application references 512 battery enclosures however the Terrestrial Ecology Report dated April 2023, references 768 battery enclosures however still references a maximum battery storage capacity of 800MW/1.6GWh.  The application is located over Lot 13 SP294647, with access via Lot 8 SP155141 and Lot 5 RP90047. The Terrestrial Ecology Report references Lots 11 and 13 on SP294647 and Lot 2 RP25294, which are properties that are not part of this application.  The report references an area on the south side of the high voltage line. The Terrestrial Ecology Report includes a smaller Project Footprint on the north side of the high voltage line, which also appears to extend onto Lot 2 RP25294. A number of submissions make reference to future expansions of the facility, i.e. inclusion of a solar farm. Lot 2 and Lot 11 are far more visually prominent than Lot 13. The extent of the inconsistencies in the Terrestrial Ecology Report raises questions regarding the accuracy of the applicant’s assertions. (a) Provide an updated and accurate suite of expert reports, including scale of development. Fire 2. The response to Council’s information request included the following responseFire Decommissioning and Rehabilitation ContaminationVisual amenity Stormwater Environmental health issues Acoustics Seqwater matters Period to respond Under the Development Assessment Rules, there is no timeframe associated with responding to this further advice, with the assessment continuing within the current period. DA24212 Further Advice You may wish to consider stopping the current period in accordance with section 32 of the Development Assessment Rules if you require additional time to consider this notice and to undertake any actions you may wish to take in response to this notice. If you are unable to stop the current period, Council may be agreeable to extending the current period. eservices.somerset.qld.gov.au/propres2.asp?lp=13SP294647 ... See MoreSee Less
