Hervey Bay will soon be on Australia’s solar map as two of the community solar farms begin construction. A total of $4 million of solar power investments will take footing at Hervey Bay hospital and Wide Bay Water Corporation opening green related jobs, boosting local solar industry and saving hundreds of tonnes of carbon each year.

The solar panel installation marathon has begun at the Hervey Bay Solar Farm in Queensland. The first soil has been turned on the $2.7 million Fraser Coast Community Solar Farm.
