Project Timeline
Project Status
WinterbourneWind Pty Ltd submitted a Scoping Report to the NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) in September 2020. This report provides preliminary information about the wind farm project and its potential impacts. In response, DPE issued the Secretary’s Environmental Assessment Requirements (SEARs) for the project in September 2020. The SEARs will underpin a detailed environmental assessment of the project, which will be documented in the project Environmental Impact Statement.
Based on the results of preliminary biodiversity, noise, visual, transport and other studies, and the results of extensive wind resource monitoring within the project area, we are refining the project layout to optimize project performance whilst minimizing potential impacts. WinterbourneWind is also working with host landowners, project neighbours, the Walcha community, Walcha and Uralla Councils, and regulatory stakeholders to understand concerns and incorporate feedback into the final project design.
We expect to lodge the EIS for the project in mid 2022.
