The Submissions Report and Amendment Report have now been lodged with the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI). The Reports are available on the Major Projects portal. Hard copies of the reports are also available to read at the local Walcha and Uralla libraries.

The Submissions Report considered all feedback received during exhibition of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), and the report provides responses to those comments. The report includes an analysis of issues raised in submissions and explains what actions and mitigations have been taken by WinterbourneWind since the EIS exhibition. The Submissions Report was prepared in accordance with the State Significant Development Guidelines.

The Amendment Report documents changes to the proposed Project which have been made to address issues raised in submissions to the EIS as well as feedback from ongoing engagement with the community, landholders, local councils and government agencies. The Project has been amended to reduce its impacts to biodiversity, visual, noise, traffic, and electromagnetic interference as well as potential cumulative impacts. The Amended Project significantly improves overall project outcomes.

The Amendment Report is on public exhibition from 8 October to 4 November 2024. The exhibition period provides an opportunity for community and stakeholders to review the amended project proposal and make a submission.
