The Narara Community Battery project, funded through federal grants, completed its end-of-project report in August 2024. Key milestones were achieved: site design and environmental assessments finished by August 2023, civil construction completed by October 2023, and an information hub website finished by April 2024 (though not yet publicly launched as of the reporting date). The project involved site-specific battery installation design, environmental approvals, connection to the local electrical network, construction of concrete foundations and cable ducts, and development of a community information platform explaining battery operations. All major milestones met or exceeded their agreed timelines. The disclosure does not contain substantive environmental assessment details, species information, or regulatory decisions relating to EPBC Act obligations relevant to this battery storage infrastructure project.
