Dinawan Solar Farm Consultation Update – IPC Community Meeting Format

Spark Renewables has been advised that, due to lower-than-expected in-person speaker registrations for the previously advertised public meeting for Dinawan Solar Farm, the Independent Planning Commission (IPC) has adjusted the format of the consultation. The IPC has confirmed that one-on-one sessions will replace the public meeting to ensure community members who registered to speak continue to have an appropriate forum to do so. All meeting transcripts will be made publicly available on the IPC’s project webpage.

Decisions regarding meeting formats are made independently by the IPC and Spark Renewables had no input into the IPC’s decision on the Dinawan Solar Farm meeting. Community members seeking further information are encouraged to refer directly to the IPC’s official communications via this link.

The opportunity to provide written submissions directly to the IPC for consideration as part of its determination of the Project remains open to all community members and has been extended until 8 March 2026 at 11.59pm. Submissions can be made via the IPC’s project webpage.

Spark Renewables remains committed to open and transparent engagement with all community members and welcomes ongoing dialogue throughout the assessment process. Spark Renewables has provided an overview of the issues raised through the IPC-led consultation process, along with key concerns raised directly with our project team by community groups. The public briefing presentation slides and accompanying transcript that were prepared for the IPC meeting can be accessed here.
