Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House that residents of Southern Downs say NO to any further wind or solar farm projects. Further projects threaten the very fabric of our rich agricultural heritage, food security, as well as disrupting our delicate ecosystems, native fauna and flora, and the burgeoning eco-tourism for the region.

Wind and solar projects will also diminish the quality of life of local residents and communities and Queensland State Government Renewable Energy Zones prevent local communities and council from having their rightful say.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to do all within its power to prevent any further development of current and future wind and solar projects within our district of Southern Downs.
