Ann: EPA approves ESD and sets timetable for Arrowsmith North, page-230

Come on @blister, bring the receipts, mate.

"Infinite Blue Energy purchased the 1929.68 ha property.

The previous property use involved sheep, cattle and goats grazing.

The solar system proposal consists of 65 MW to 85 MW of solar panels to be constructed on 60 percent of the properties existing cleared land. Solar footprint total extent 139.85 ha.

The property contains 213.34 ha of previously disturbed vegetation.

The proposal disturbance footprint total is 242.28 ha.

The construction proposed vegetation clearing area is 139.31 ha."

They're clearing <7.5% of the property, which was grazing country anyway.

Luckily for them, the carcasses of dead Carnaby Cockatoos, scythed in two by hurtling wind farm blades, will only be discovered once they are up and running! (I bet that it just one of the objections they get...)

As a side note, nice to see our good friends Bamford selling their Carnaby foraging report to someone else, yet again... the poor buggers at Infinite Blue seem to have a roost on their land. Right where they plan to install the solar array:
