It is proposed to built in three stages of 500MW each, and there are plans to add a 500MWh battery storage facility.[1]

Construction began in February 2019.[2] However it almost immediately received complaints from neighbours. A notice of appeal was filed with the Planning and Environment Court.[3] The appeal was dismissed on 18 April 2019.[4]

The company developing the project was in the news in July 2019 over an alleged wrongful transfer of shares, leading to action in the Federal Court of Australia.[5]

The development was again in doubt in late 2019 when Planning consultants Ethos Urban submitted a wind-up application to the New South Wales Supreme Court against Sunshine Energy Australia.[6][7] The application was dismissed on 1 November 2019.[8]
