Project Update: Rutherglen Battery Project Reaches Key Milestone

We are excited to share a major update on the progress of the Rutherglen Battery Project. The team has officially submitted the Development Application for a Material Change of Use (Battery Storage Facility and Substation) and Reconfiguring a Lot for the site located at 837 Red Hill Road, Bororen.

What This Means

The submission of the Planning Report, prepared by Gilvear Planning, marks a critical step forward for the project. This comprehensive document outlines all the necessary details for the proposed battery storage facility, providing Gladstone Regional Council with the information needed for review.

The Planning Report includes extensive supporting attachments, such as the:

• Traffic Impact Assessment

• Noise Impact Assessment

• Bushfire Mitigation Report

• Community Consultation Letter

These attachments demonstrate our commitment to thoroughly planning for and addressing all potential impacts of the facility within the community and environment.

Next Steps

The application is now under review by the Gladstone Regional Council. This phase includes a detailed assessment of all technical documents and will incorporate any required community feedback as part of the formal development application process.

We appreciate the community's ongoing interest and look forward to providing further updates as we move closer to approval.
