Planning Process
The project is seeking to obtain an Associated Infrastructure Licence under the Hydrogen and Renewable Energy Act 2023.
As part of the licence application process, Tilt Renewables has undertaken environmental and social impact assessments. A draft Environmental Impact Report and Statement of Environmental Objectives was prepared, and stakeholder consultation on the draft reports were conducted during August 2025.
Following feedback, the final Environmental Impact Report and Statement of Environmental Objectives was prepared and formally submitted to the Department of Energy and Mining (DEM) for assessment.
