Speaker 1 (00:00):
iHeart upper Hunter.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
God knows what's going to happen if someone happens to
become the other way and a truck comes around there
and east three parts across the road and you're in
a car. But anyway, they say they reckon it's safe,
but I don't agree that it's safe.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Hello, I'm Garren KATRUPI And in this episode we head
to mary War to meet some residents staring down a
massive development on their doorstep. But these aren't your typical nimbi's.
This isn't a case of someone's neighbor wanting to do
a reno to block views, or a developer wanting to
bulldoze and build dozens of retirement living units. These residents
(00:36):
have real concerns that planning for the building of the
Gold and River Solar and battery storage farm hasn't really
been thought through well enough for all of its renewable
energy glory. The farm is to be developed twenty eight
k southwest of the town. The state government approved project
is worth eight hundred and eighty million dollars and will
generate enough electricity to power about one hundred and ninety
(00:58):
one thousand homes a year. The proponent light source. BP
will build a million solar panels yep, that's one million,
up to four meters in height, on the former pastoral
site originally farmed by the O'Brien family back in the
eighteen hundreds, which also borders the Golbin River National Park.
The project is going to need a decent sized workforce,
(01:21):
so a large number of drop in demountables will be
plumped on the land to house workers across the two
and a half year construction phase. The solar and battery
farm itself will have a lifetime of forty years. I
went for a visits to the area and caught up
with two locals who are pretty steamed up. They're not
against the development at all, but they're angry at the
(01:42):
impact it's going to have on the roads and the
safety of those that will be using them. Worrygeddin.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
The concern we have is there is sections on this
road which are not going to be upgraded at all
by BP, and these sections of the road at the
moment are dangerous. As you said, they are badly pot
ter in certain sections. They are starting to break up now,
that is with the minimum amount of traffic we have
them on it. At the moment and then you can
imagine how those sections are road there are going to
(02:10):
end up with the volume of trucks that they're talking
about running on the road. Now, it's okay saying that
they will maintain the road to a certain standard, but really,
to me, the stand of the road needs to be
improved and make sure the road is in reusable condition
before we even start. Otherwise it's like a dog chasing
(02:30):
its tail. It'll just keep going around and around and around.
And the other thing is in the conditions of consent
where they say that they're going to be responsible for
the maintenance of the road, it will be repaired in
a timely manner. Now you describe to me what timely means, Darren.
You give me description of that light source.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
BP has agreed to undertake some basic road works, but
only in some sections. Let's look at some of the
specific issues the locals have. The first trucks turning onto
Ringwood Road from the Golden Highway having no visibility of
the intersection until they're right on top of it because
it's located just above the peak of a hill.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
That's right, and that site distance is being addressed by
a number of measures where they're going to make all
the traffic out of Ringwood Road turning onto the Golden Highway,
turn left and head toward Castlas and then do a
U turn and then come back through, which is fine.
But our concern as residents and that in the area
is who polices these rules and regulations on these trucks
(03:34):
and that intersection, as you describe, has very little site
distance and as an accident waiting to happen. So our
concern is, Okay, they've put these measures in place, but
who is going to monitor and control these measures to
make sure that they're adhed to.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Wrygeddin says. Another worry is the increased traffic it will
generate onto Ringwood Road.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
In the volume of trucks they're talking about with this
project now it's been proved, is fifty five trucks a
day minimum, six days a week. And then also now
we have on top of this a work camp which
is going to be constructed down there, which could add
an additional ten to fifteen truck movements a day.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
So we're talking massive truck movements.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
We're also talking about extra truck movements through the town
of Merrywar, through the main street of Merrywar which is
pretty heavily congested now, and this congestion is only going.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
To get worse.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Mark Fitzroy says the road was never built to carry
so much weight, all that much traffic.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Just the general residence traffic is enough as it is
trying to head into work, head into town. The extra
traffic movement on the road, as it's being so narrow
and hard to navigate as it is a few crossings there,
a few narrow sections that don't have any shoulder to
get off the road, it's going to make it very
(04:52):
difficult just for the local residents to get around and
do their normal chores. And with the additional traffic movements trucks, cars, buses,
with the project moving forward, it is going to make
it very difficult and very dangerous for the residents to
navigate their normal chores with all this extra traffic.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Mark and Warrior's other key concern is there are sections
of the road already considered hazardous that are not going
to be upgraded. One such section is listed in formal
documentation as being six meters wide with a further shoulder
on either side. I witness warrickn Mark measure it themselves
and it's only five point six meters wide with no
(05:34):
shoulder at all. Add to that the presence of a
sudden drop off into a deep water covert. Mark Fitzroy.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
There's two definite sections that don't have any shoulder. They
drop off into a covert. There is no shoulder there.
There has been at least one truck roll over there
that we know of. A car recently rolled there where
they cannot get off the road if there's another vehicle,
especially two trucks passing or two buses. So there's a
real concern there on that section of the road where
(06:05):
there is no room to get over and get off
the road safely if you're going to pass another vehicle,
if there was a truck coming towards you.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Does the council have a different tape measure to what
you guys had today.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
No council just seem to think it's all okay and
that there's no need to upgrade it. They think that
it's fine, and they think that everyone will be okay
with it, and they'll just keep moving on and turn
a blind eye to as they have with a lot
of parts of the raid.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
That area we're talking about also follows just after a
dog leg. So you're coming around a corner and then
suddenly you've got five point six meters a road where
the council says there's six meters plus there's a sudden
drop off because there is no shoulder.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Yeah, it's a very dangerous bit of road. That road
where you come down. You can be doing inning up
to one hundred k an hour around that corner, and
then once you hit that corner and it's too late
to start pulling up, You've got nowhere to go, and
hence why there has been a couple of accidents there.
There is nowhere to get off the road at all,
(07:07):
and it is going to prove a major concern for
any of the vehicles that are going to the volume
of vehicles that are going to be traveling there, there
will be an accident there, not before too.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Long still to come. More on what Mark Fitzroy and
Warick Eden consider serious shortfalls in planning for this project,
including no set speed limit on Ringwood Road, and their
thoughts on the Upper Hunter Shire Council's role on the
road's issue.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
I heart Upper Hunter, I heart Upper Hunter. Welcome back.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
I'm Darren Katruvie. There's no doubting The Goldwyn River Solar
and battery farm out near Merrywar ticks a lot of
boxes on a government's checklist for a big renewable energy project,
But according to local Merriwar resident Warwick, edon road safety
isn't one of them. It's going to bring a lot
of trucks into the area, and Warwick says he's still
trying to obtain information on what the speed limit on
(08:08):
Ringwood Road will be to cater for trucks that are
nineteen meters long and more than two meters wide.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
This road is actually unsigned posted speed limit, so from
what I'm lead to believe, I don't know where the
unsigned posted means one hundred komes an hour one hundred
and ten kilometers an hour. No one can really tell me.
They don't really know the road. Also, in quite a
few sections we have no line marking, so we don't
really know. So that's another concern because as we know,
(08:37):
these trucks and that that are going to be traveling
down to this solo factory, and that's what it is,
a solar factory, are going to be on a deadline.
So they're not just going to be ambling down the
road there. They're going to be speeding down the road there,
and the road, like I said, is unsigned posted speed limit,
which is a problem. But when we get down to
the national part where it road turns to gravel, and
(08:57):
the gravel's not particularly good, I'm going to impose a
speed restriction on the trucks to eighty kilometers an hour.
So on the tar it seems like it's okay to
be speeding or going as fast as you can, but
when we hit the gravel, we're going to impose a
spooed limit on them.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
So I don't know, it doesn't really make sense to me.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
But after the gravel, then there's this dirt.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Yeah, that's exactly right. So we go to dirt. We
have blind corners, we have road. Okay, the road's not
too bad today and there we've been down there. But
if we get continual periods of rain, it's going to
end up a bit of a quagmire down there.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
The road's going to be cut up badly.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
And then god knows what's going to happen if someone
happens to become the other way and the truck comes
around there and ease three parts across the road and
you're in a car, but anyway. They say they reckon
it's safe, but I don't agree that it's safe.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
There are trucks, and there are trucks. What sort of
sized trucks are you talking about.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
We're talking about nine eeen meter semi trailers. And as
I said before, we'll be running fifty five minimum a day.
Then we will have extra trucks and we will also
be having oversized loads, and then we will all so
be having as I said, extra truck servicing. Another layer
to this, which is a work camp to be built
down there which will be carting water, disposing of sewerage.
(10:09):
We're going to have fuel stored down there. So there's
another problem on the road, another hazardous problem on the road.
So all these things start add up.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Upper hunter Shire Council is signed a voluntary planning agreement
with Light Source BP for an annual community contribution which
is a minimum one hundred and ninety thousand dollars at
Warrigedden says the horse has already bolted. Should that money
be sectioned off to maintain the road.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
My concern is not the money being sectioned off to
maintain the road. The road should be bought up the
standard before the project even starts now, even with the
repairs that are going to happen to the road, the
road is never designed in the first place to handle
this volume of traffic. So therefore we are going to
need money to repair and bring this road back to
(10:56):
standard and et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
But I need to check the fact, but.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I'm pretty sure I put a submission into this voluntary
planning agreement where I raised some objections to this, and
I did not receive a response back from the council.
I think I received a response that they received my email,
but once again, none of my concerns have been addressed.
And therefore, next minute artis they've given the tick and
they've signed off on it.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
So you know, I don't know. Are they blindsided by
the money?
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Possibly, But I don't really know what the answer that
question is, Darren, to be honest with you.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Warig says, the council failed to take community inputs seriously
and the big opportunity was missed to achieve a better
deal for road upgrades.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I understand because this project is under the State Significant
Development banner, where the council doesn't have a lot to say.
I think the council should take a stance where they
take the residents concern on board. These concerns should then
be addressed. The issue of the road, which is another
big concern, is a council issuear because it is a
(11:59):
council road.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Believe it or not, it's a council road.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
So the road, you would think they would have done
some sort of due diligence to see if the road
was up the scratch, if it's not up the scratch,
where it needed repair, where it needed this, where it
needed that. Now, don't get me wrong, BP is going
to do some work on this road, but they have
cherry picked areas where they want to do this work
and there's other areas where this road is bad where
(12:23):
they are going to do nothing. Now, to me, the
council should have said to them, we think this area
of road needs work. This area needs work. We appreciate
these other areas you do on your work, but in
all honesty, you're using the whole road. You're not using
half the road or two thirds of the road. You
using all the road. So really they should have done
their due diligence. They should have gone back to the
(12:44):
planning and said Okay, we think that we need these
sections this road improved and this should be put in
the conditions of consent of the project. Now this process didn't.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Happen again, Warrick and Mark don't have a beef with
the project itself. Three hundred and fifty jobs will come
from it and seven hundred and thirty three thousand tons
of carbon dioxide will be eliminated as New South Wales
aims for its net zero emissions target. But you do
have to wonder if the community consultation process around the
(13:15):
Goldwyn River Solar and Batchoe Farm was as thorough as
it could have been, especially when two blokes who live
and breathe the Merriwar region can easily pinpoint issues well
overlooked by expensive consultants and engineers. Thanks for listening to

take the residents concern on board. These concerns should then
be addressed. The issue of the road, which is another
big concern, is a council issuear because it is a
(11:59):
council road.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Believe it or not, it's a council road.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
So the road, you would think they would have done
some sort of due diligence to see if the road
was up the scratch, if it's not up the scratch,
where it needed repair, where it needed this, where it
needed that. Now, don't get me wrong, BP is going
to do some work on this road, but they have
cherry picked areas where they want to do this work
and there's other areas where this road is bad where
(12:23):
they are going to do nothing. Now, to me, the
council should have said to them, we think this area
of road needs work. This area needs work. We appreciate
these other areas you do on your work, but in
all honesty, you're using the whole road. You're not using
half the road or two thirds of the road. You
using all the road. So really they should have done
their due diligence. They should have gone back to the
(12:44):
planning and said Okay, we think that we need these
sections this road improved and this should be put in
the conditions of consent of the project. Now this process didn't.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Happen again, Warrick and Mark don't have a beef with
the project itself. Three hundred and fifty jobs will come
from it and seven hundred and thirty three thousand tons
of carbon dioxide will be eliminated as New South Wales
aims for its net zero emissions target. But you do
have to wonder if the community consultation process around the
(13:15):
Goldwyn River Solar and Batchoe Farm was as thorough as
it could have been, especially when two blokes who live
and breathe the Merriwar region can easily pinpoint issues well
overlooked by expensive consultants and engineers. Thanks for listening to
