The Rodds Bay Solar Farm required Periurban Property Development to:

Identify possible sites in Queensland for large utility scaled solar farms

• Conduct initial site assessments
• Recommend preferred sites
• Engage landowners and negotiate terms
• Project manage the development application and approval processes
• Engage with the wider community, council and state government departments
