Goombi Renewable Energy Hub (GREH) Community Survey

Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey. Goombi Energy Holdings (GEH) is committed to developing the proposed Goombi Renewable Energy Hub (the Project) in a way that is inclusive, open and beneficial to the local and broader community. For more information on the Project visit the website: goombirenewablenergyhub.com

The Goombi Renewable Energy Hub (GREH) is a wind farm and battery energy storage system (BESS) project proposed for Goombi, in the Western Downs region of Queensland. The Project is located approximately 16 km to the east of Miles and 12 km to the west of Chinchilla.

Key Project Details

Up to 107 wind turbines with a maximum blade tip height of 275m
A battery energy storage system (BESS)
Wind monitoring masts
Ancillary infrastructure e.g. internal access tracks, hardstand and laydown areas, electrical substation and electrical reticulation
The disturbance footprint will occupy approximately 8% of the total project area, with little impact on agricultural productivity and the ongoing extracting and processing of CSG
Operational life of at least 30 years
Generate renewable energy to power up to 400,000 homes
Promote employment, with up to 300 jobs during construction, and up to 12 during operation
1.6 million tonnes of carbon emissions saved per year

As part of the development process for the Project we are looking to collect feedback from residents and local community members about the Project and your experiences of living in your community and the broader region.

Umwelt (Australia) Pty Ltd (Umwelt), on behalf of GEH, is undertaking this survey to inform the development application for the Project, with questions relating to:

Community needs and values;
Awareness and interest of the Project;
Perceived impacts and opportunities of the Project; and
Your preferences for engagement and information needs moving forward.

The survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete.
