Statement from the Commission

The arrangements for the Independent Planning Commission’s public meeting in relation to the proposed Dinawan Solar Farm (SSD-50725959) on Friday 27 February at Coleambally have been changed due to lower than expected in-person speaker registrations.

 

The Commission is currently contacting the 14 people who registered to speak (three of whom had registered to speak in person) to make these individual arrangements, ensuring everyone has the chance to have their say on the proposed project. In accordance with the Commission’s Transparency Policy, the Commission will publish full transcripts of these meetings on its website.

 

The Commission have also met with key staff and elected representatives of the local Murrumbidgee Council and will undertake a site inspection and locality tour. 

 

The Commission is still accepting written submissions on the Dinawan Solar Farm project. If you wish to make a written submission, you can do so via our online portal: www.ipcn.nsw.gov.au/form/dinawan-solar-farm until 11:59pm AEDT on Thursday 5 March 2026.
