Wall Planning & Environmental Consulting is excited to have been involved with the preparation of a Social Impact Assessment for a vanadium project outside of Julia Creek in Queensland. Multicom Resources Pty Ltd, Australia’s leading developer of vanadium resources, sought to mine Vanadium Pentoxide over 8,800 Ha of land, situated approximately 25km east of Julia Creek.
At Wall Planning & Environmental Consulting we enjoy working at the cutting edge of new and emerging industries. Vanadium has recently been described as being central to the “holy grail of renewable energy”. Vanadium has the ability to provide grid scale energy storage that will revolutionise green energy, as it will allow energy derived from the sun and wind to be stored and used on demand over extended periods.
Multicom Resources Pty Ltd are seeking to take advantage of the emerging supply gap within the market for vanadium, which is used in high strength steep production and redox flow batteries. Vanadium demand is increasing as result of global trends towards lighter weight and higher strength steels. Particularly in China, where changes to building standards require increased vanadium content in steels.
In addition, Multicom have partnered with a company to produce StorEn vanadium batteries. Vanadium batteries intend to be the “Missing Link” in today’s energy market in its transition towards energy generation from renewable sources and greater energy efficiency: the need for long lasting and economical energy storage.

Wall Planning & Environmental Consulting, in partnership with the Isaac Regional Council, developed the Clermont Saleyards & Showgrounds Revitalisation Masterplan. The Masterplan, funded as part of the $1 million grant from the State Government’s Jobs and Regional Growth Fund, has been developed in consultation with industry stakeholders and key user groups and provides a roadmap for the long-term improvement of the precinct, which is home to Isaac region’s iconic Clermont Show. The annual Clermont Show is one of Queensland’s oldest and most beloved regional events, which celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2018. The Isaac Regional Council and stakeholders were eager to future proof our iconic event and continue to support the great beef industry. Wall Planning & Environmental Consulting facilitated numerous community and stakeholder engagement workshops, community feedback survey and presentation of report recommendations to council. The Masterplan truly is a testament to the participation of the Isaac community, Saleyards and Show Committees and the Council.
