Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

1)        Click on the link below

2)        It may take a while to load all data so please be patient. You have to click box to indicate you are a human.

3)        Once the website has launched you can zoom right in and look around. The further you zoom in the more data you will see.

4)        Every polygon and vector is clickable. A data box will appear with key information about the technology type and a website link back to source data.

5)        A more detailed legend can be used on the left of the screen where technology type can be switched on and off. Be sure to toggle on the National Parks layer on and off to see where protected areas are.

6)        Have fun! I don’t think Chris Bowen wants you to see this.

This mapping resource is the culmination of three years of volunteer work by Rainforest Reserves Australia. What started as a small mapping project documenting spatial footprints of industrial renewables in far north Queensland quickly grew into a nation-wide exercise. The database grew as regional communities at the front line of the infrastructure onslaught provided Rainforest Reserves Australia with critical links to projects.

We have found that this chaotic rush has been done in such a way as to deceive Australians and crush regional communities. The stories of pain, deception, financial losses, and even loss of life from the deceptive behaviour of renewable companies has been disgraceful. This reckless federal and state governments must be held to account for their complicacy in deceit and deception.

If you find erors, which we know there will be many please email us and let us know. It is highly likely we have missed adding many projects so please contact us. Renewable developers do not want us to find them!

If you are interested in obtaining this spatial mapping data or parts thereof in GIS file format please contact us.

We can also provide mapping services for regional communities in different formats such as 3d modelling. 

If you’re a wind tower baron, solar works investor or Chris Bowen please do not reach out to us.
