The Queensland government has paused proposals for wind farms as it works to strengthen regulations around renewable energy planning.
Deputy Premier Jarrod Bliejie has issued a proposed call-in-notice for a potential wind farm near Rockhampton and to hold an assessment of three other green projects.
The move will also ensure communities potentially affected by large-scale projects are consulted.
The LNP made a pre-election promise to ensure renewable energy projects receive the same evaluation as mining and agriculture.
