Protect Dookie & GV

Campaign Update
Today we released an Open Letter to VicGrid CEO Alistair Parker, along with a Media Release, calling for answers about how Dookie was included in the proposed Renewable Energy Zone and the evidence behind that decision.

The Open Letter, Executive Briefing Note and other key campaign documents are now available on our website.

We encourage everyone to take a few minutes to read the documents, stay informed and follow the progress of the campaign.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support this campaign. Every conversation, every share and every voice helps ensure these important questions continue to be heard.

The Dookie community isn’t backing down from the fight against the proposed central North REZ.

19/06/2026

UNBELIEVABLE SCENES. More than 10,000 people have now signed the petition to protect the Dookie District and Goulburn Valley.

What started as a local concern has become a powerful community movement.
Farmers, families, business owners and supporters from across Victoria have come together to send a clear message:
Prime farmland matters.
Food security matters.
Rural communities matter.
Proper consultation matters.

THANK YOU to every person who signed, shared a post, sent a text, had a conversation or helped spread the word. This milestone belongs to all of you.

10,000 signatures is not the finish line.
It’s proof that people are paying attention. 
It’s a message the Government can no longer ignore.

The fight to protect the Dookie District continues.

Deep, rich red volcanic soil. The foundation of award-winning wines, productive farms and a landscape unlike any other.

The Dookie Hills’ unique Cambrian soils, climate and terroir cannot be recreated somewhere else.

This is a place generations have carefully nurtured, not a landscape to be industrialised.

The secret is in the Dookie dirt.

“Can’t wait to go for a ride through solar panels.” Said no one ever!

The Dookie District is a place to escape. Fresh air. Open spaces.
A landscape where kids can roam, people can ride, and communities can connect with nature.

An industrial-scale renewable energy zone would change this landscape forever.

10,000 signatures by 1 July.
Share. Sign. Stand up for Dookie.
