Potential impacts from renewable energy projects on agricultural activities will vary from project to project and property to property.  While renewable energy developers will aim to minimise impacts as much as possible, it is important that a landholder considers all potential impacts from a proposed renewable development on their property, both now and into the future, and ensures that these are adequately compensated as part of any negotiated agreement.

It is important to consider both potential construction and operational impacts and seek appropriate professional expertise where required as part of this consideration. The Queensland Farmers Federation’s  Queensland Renewable Energy Landholder Toolkit is an excellent resource for landholders who may be considering hosting a renewable energy project and negotiating a subsequent agreement.
