A group of residents in south-west Victoria are cheering the rejection of an application to build a 6 square kilometre solar farm near their town.

| Solar panels like those at Royalla solar farm are good for renewables but often occupy agricultural land. |
Corangamite Shire received 81 objections to the project, which would have seen 700,000 solar panels installed on 554 hectares of farmland at Bookaar, 10 kilometres north-west of Camperdown.
The solar farm would have been bigger than Camperdown itself, which has a population of about 3,300 and covers about 4 square kilometres.
