About

We’re a community-led group of locals raising awareness and advocating for transparency, safety and genuine community consultation regarding large-scale battery developments proposed in the Rockhampton Regional area. 

Who are we

CQ Renewable watch was formed by concerned residents, landholders, farmers and families across the Rockhampton Region after learning about multiple large-scale battery energy storage proposals that have been progressing with limited transparency or public input. 

Our group is made up of everyday people: graziers, grandparents, young families, and workers – all committed to protecting our region from poorly placed or rushed energy developments 

What we stand for

COMMUNITY-LED PLANNING

Local people must have a real say in major energy decisions

PROTECTING RURAL LAND

Agricultural land and landscapes deserve long-term respect

SAFETY AND TRANSPARENCY

Local people must have a real say in major energy decisions

WORKING TOGETHER

BESS risks must be understood and mitigated
