Connect 2 Campbelltown Newsletter - Magill Community Battery Lease Update

Magill Community Battery Lease Update

Council will consider the results of the recent community engagement on the Magill Community Battery Lease when it meets on Tuesday 19 September 2023 at 7.00pm.

The full report is available on the Council agenda. You can also listen to the discussion in person by attending the meeting in the Council Chamber at 172 Montacute Road, Rostrevor.

You may recall that during August we asked the community to comment on a proposal to grant a lease to the DEM (Department of Energy and Mining) for the purpose of installing a community battery.

This aims to deliver renewable energy at the cheapest available residential electricity rate in South Australia to low income and vulnerable households in Magill (namely Housing SA tenants).

Council’s role is to provide a 15-year ground lease of community land at Tuku Wirra Reserve, Magill. Further details about the project are available on Connect 2 Campbelltown.

An update on Council’s decision will be provided in a future Connect 2 Campbelltown Newsletter.
