were held at the same three locations in May.<\/p>\n<p>RES has prepared an updated project layout following these initial meetings, and as a result of technical studies and environmental assessments.<\/p>\n<p>The latest round of meetings are being organised by the RES Project Team and Senior Development Project Manager Toby Coates ahead of the official lodgement of development

had been allocated $776 million from the $2 billion Queensland Renewable Energy and Hydrogen Jobs Fund.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This funding would be used by the government-owned Stanwell Corporation to invest in the project in a &#8220;strategic partnership&#8221; with RES.<\/p>\n<p>The number and location of the proposed turbine towers\u00a0 &#8211; which will be taller than those built at Coopers
