Farmer John McEvoy speaks on the scale of the Dederang BESS

Transcript

00:00 We were ready for in some ways probably 135 of these shipping containers plus their

00:07 transformers. That is only a site for 34. This proposal now is up to almost 500 of

00:16 these things. Have a look at the scale of it. Have a look at the vehicles. In the

00:24 bottom right hand corner is a massive Euclid tipper truck. It looks like a

00:28 little toy. The crane looks like a toy. There are tractors, trucks, cities. That is only 34.

00:37 Not nearly 500 of these things right there all along our boundary to our farm.

00:45 Is this what we want in our valley? 500 of them, not 34. Look at the scale of it. It is

00:53 staggering, absolutely staggering. The traffic and the disruption to this

00:57 valley and all the services in this valley, that Glen Creek road will be a

01:03 nightmare for years. This doesn't happen in three or four months. This will take

01:08 three or four years to build these.
