Quorn Park Hybrid: Project Update

July 3, 2025 By Roxane Manley

Construction activities of the Quorn Park Hybrid Farm, on Back Trundle Road, Parkesare progressing, with materials delivered for access tracks and working areas.

Back Trundle Road Council upgrade is complete. Intersection upgrade in progress pending completion in July. Piling works were completed in early June 2025. Vehicle movements are being continuously moni­tored to minimise impacts to local road us­ers where possible. Light and heavy vehi­cles will continue along Henry Parkes Way, McGrath Lane, and Back Trundle Road as materials and personnel are transported to site, generally between 7.00am –6.00pm Monday to Friday. Civil works for the pro­ject’s substation and for the substation ac­cess roads are ongoing.

The Golden Rows – the first solar panel rows installed on-site, which serve as the benchmark for layout, quality, and installa­tion pace – have now been completed. With the completion of this key milestone, the project team was pleased to welcome rep­resentatives from the Parkes Shire Council to site in mid-June. The purpose of the visit was to showcase recent progress on site, and outline the next steps.

The mechanical crews are beginning in­stallation of the tracker components, which allow the solar panels to follow the sun’s movement and maximise energy production throughout the day.

Panel installation will commence in com­ing weeks, once the mechanical assembly of trackers are in progress. Construction hours are Monday to Friday 7am-6pm, and Saturday 7am-1pm. All construction works are undertaken in accordance with the con­ditions of the Development Approval and relevant legislative requirements.
