Compliance

The Environment Effects Statement (EES) and planning permit applications were submitted to the relevant authorities in April 2015 and the final planning approval for the wind farm was granted in July 2016 for up to 96 turbines. Approval was also granted under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.

In December 2017, the Minister for Planning approved a variation to the maximum tip-height of the turbines, increasing this from 165m to 189m. The total number of turbines to be installed was also reduced from up to 96 to up to 88.

In March 2023, the Minister for Planning approved an amendment to the Planning Permit to allow more time for the Section 173 Agreements to be executed by all parties.

Please find copies of the planning permits and approvals for the project below, along with the required reporting documentation.
