Queensland groups demand stricter rules for renewable energy projects
What happened
Regional Voices Queensland, an alliance of about 12 community action groups, held a meeting to discuss challenges faced by landholders amid growth in the renewable energy sector in Queensland. The group is calling for mandatory 3-kilometre setbacks from residences and requires up-front decommissioning bonds for projects. The meeting was co-organized by David Littleproud.

Why it matters
The coalition is demanding tougher laws governing renewable energy developments, including stricter decommissioning rules and stronger protections for neighboring landholders. These calls for regulatory reform could significantly impact the planning and operational requirements for energy projects across the state.
