griculture was once king in Glen Beasley’s neighbourhood on Queensland’s Darling Downs, a vast agricultural area about 200km west of Brisbane. “It was all grain, beef, timber and a bit of coal,” he says.
The majority of these projects are slated for the area Beasley’s family has been farming for three generations: The region is so popular that developers are jockeying for space: the Beasleys were on the verge of signing a 30-year lease with a UK solar developer, before a surge of other solar projects caused the transmission line on his property to reach capacity.
In renewable energy zones, encroaching development can feel overwhelming. Some landowners on the Darling Downs have been approached by as many as 12 different renewable energy developers.A prospective windfarm on the Southern Downs was shelved last month after a community meeting in the small town of Allora, where hundreds of people spilled from the doors of the local sports club in outrage over nine farmers being approached about a potential development.
