Description
Description | Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) projects vary in size and planning approval pathways across Australian states. In NSW, approval depends on project scale and may follow state significant development, regional development, or exempt development pathways. Queensland uses standard planning acts or alternative pathways like the optimal infrastructure pathway. Victoria requires consideration under the Planning and Environment Act with possible Environment Effects Statement for large projects. Key issues include noise, visual impact, water management, hazards, and decommissioning plans. |
