Critics say the Cooba Solar Project's permit contains inaccuracies, threatening valuable agricultural land.

The planning permit for the Cooba Solar Project in Colbinabbin has been criticized for inaccuracies by the Colbinabbin Renewable Action Group. The project, spanning 665 hectares with 700,000 solar panels, faces opposition over concerns about the land's agricultural value. Critics argue the application falsely claims the land is not in an irrigation zone and lacks strategic importance. Local MPs and a shadow minister support preserving the land for agriculture.
