The BESS project will be set back from the site’s border. This includes the existing and possible future landscape buffering and a firebreak, which is also used as an internal access track.

An existing landscape buffer is provided along the project boundary to protect the area’s visual amenity. If deemed required, future landscaping would include a mix of indigenous shrubs and trees of varied heights and will have the added benefit of creating important new habitats for native fauna, thus supporting the region’s biodiversity.
