Before construction can commence, the Marmadua Energy Park project must undergo a range of environmental, technical and planning assessments and obtain the necessary approvals from State and Commonwealth governments.
These studies help inform the project’s design and identify measures to avoid, minimise and manage potential impacts.
Community feedback is an important part of the project’s planning process. Throughout the development phase, we actively engage with landholders, neighbours, Traditional Owners, local government, community groups and other key stakeholders to help inform project planning and design.
The diagram outlines the typical stages involved in developing, constructing, operating and eventually decommissioning a renewable energy project.
The Marmadua Energy Park project is currently in the planning and approvals stage.
During this phase, a range of technical, environmental and social studies are undertaken to help inform the project design and identify opportunities to avoid, minimise and manage potential impacts.
Community engagement also continues throughout the process, helping ensure local knowledge, feedback and priorities are considered as the project develops.
The findings from these studies support future planning and environmental approval applications, which are assessed by relevant State and Commonwealth government agencies before any construction can commence.
In Queensland, renewable energy projects are typically assessed through the State Assessment and Referral Agency (SARA), with some projects also requiring assessment under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act).
A range of specialist studies are being undertaken to help inform the project design and approval applications, including assessments relating to:
