Community
The Darumbal People
The Darumbal people have inhabited the Rockhampton Region for millennia, maintaining a deep connection to Country. Central Queensland Power is committed to supporting their progress and that of the local community. We are currently working through a cultural heritage agreement with the Darumbal people to manage and protect their land and culture throughout the project. Negotiations for a further partnership agreement are presently underway, with the aim to align the Moah Creek Solar Farm with sustainable development principles and respect and enhance the interests and cultural values of the Darumbal people.
