Constituency questions

Northern Victoria Region


Rikkie-Lee TYRRELL

Northern Victoria Region

Rikkie-Lee TYRRELL (Northern Victoria) (12:53): (259) My question is for the minister representing the Minister for Planning. After already having raised this in an adjournment matter, I still have numerous constituents reaching out with reasonable concerns. The proposed 1400-acre Meadow Creek solar farm in Bobinawarrah is to be the largest in the country. As previously mentioned in this chamber, this specific piece of land is described in the Hume Regional Growth Plan as strategic, premium agricultural land. It is also within the Wangaratta domestic water supply catchment area. Having said this, will the minister conduct further community consultation with the Meadow Creek community action group?
