Around 1,850 hectares of land in the Darling Downs of south Queensland is up for lease.
Part of the 6,275-hectare Lyndley Station is being offered for a renewable power operator as landholders move to capitalise on the energy transition.
The site is within the Southern Queensland Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) and offers frontage to a 275 kV high voltage transmission line.
CBRE’s Andrew Loughnan and John Harrison are managing the expressions of interest campaign, which closes on April 3, 2025.
“Our goal is to ensure a transparent and mutually beneficial process that allows the agricultural land to coexist harmoniously with renewable energy projects,” said Harrison.
“By working together, we aim to foster sustainable development while maintaining the integrity and productivity of the farmland.”
The Queensland government launched its New Industry Development Strategy in 2023, with the aim to assist businesses in finding manufacturing opportunities to build the infrastructure and products needed to shift to renewables.
Last year, the Queensland government-owned energy operator Stanwell acquired 436.5 MV Tarong West Wind Farm.
