DATE FILED (OR FIRST HEARING DATE)

Project Approval - Mitigation

SUBJECT MATTER

Wind farm

REVIEW TYPE

Merits review

SUMMARY

The Tribunal decided a permit should be granted on the basis of the suitability of the site for a wind farm. The Tribunal recognised that there are a limited number of suitable locations as wind farms must be situated where there are good wind resources and in proximity to the electricity grid. This outweighed the potential impact of the wind farm on amenity and landscape values.
