Public meeting notification

PLEASE NOTE: This public meeting has been rescheduled to 10am on Friday 29 January 2021

The NSW Department of Planning, Industry & Environment has completed its evaluation of the proposed Springdale Solar Farm ​and provided it to the Independent Planning Commission NSW for determination.

In line with regulatory requirements introduced in response to the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic, the Commission is not holding face-to-face public meetings at this time. To ensure interested individuals and/or groups can still have their say on the Springdale Solar Farm, the Commission will conduct a public meeting remotely by video conference (with an option to participate by telephone).

The Commissioners will host an electronic Public Meeting to listen to the community’s views. The Public Meeting​ was​ originally scheduled for Tuesday 22 December 2020 but has now been postponed to Friday 29 January 2021, commencing at 10am AEDT.
