A development application has been lodged with the South Burnett Regional Council for the proposed Tumuruu Solar Farm north of Blackbutt.
Australian Solar Enterprises (ASE), a Queensland-based company, hopes to build the project on a 673ha block at 341 Bowman Road, Taromeo.
The proposal covers about 40 per cent of this site, which has formerly been used for cattle grazing.
Two existing Powerlink 275KV transmission lines already cross the property.
If Council approves the development application, ASE hopes to start construction in 2024 to have the solar farm operational by 2025.
More information, including the development application documents, is available on the Tumuruu website
