The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning has not always tracked the development of solar energy facilities in Victoria. The information above has, in most cases, come from local councils and other sources. While all endeavours are made to ensure the information is complete, accurate and current, it should not be assumed to be 100% correct.
