Technical assessments and mitigation

Respecting our land, water and wildlife.

We’re designing the project with strong environmental protections, cultural respect, and local knowledge in mind.

As part of the environmental assessment and planning process and to inform the turbine layout, extensive technical assessments are conducted. These are carried out by highly experienced professionals with great attention to detail.

These include:

  • Flora and fauna

  • Bushfire and fire risk

  • Landscape and visual impact

  • Shadow flicker, glint and glare, blade throw

  • Electromagnetic interference

  • Noise impact

  • Hydrology and flooding

  • Cultural Heritage and Historic Heritage

  • Agriculture

  • Socio-economic

  • Traffic

  • Aviation

  • Hydrogeology

  • Geotechnical

  • Air Quality and Emissions

Your knowledge of the region is invaluable. By sharing your thoughts early, you help us:

  • Respect local culture and heritage

  • Identify and avoid potential issues

  • Design smarter, more practical solutions

  • Support what matters most in your community

  • Shape benefit-sharing programs that deliver real value

  • Understand the land and environmental conditions

  • Avoid disruption to farming, local events, or sensitive areas

  • Design traffic and access plans that make sense.

We also welcome:

  • Suggestions for local businesses or contractors

  • Community benefit ideas (e.g. grants, sponsorships, infrastructure)

  • Insights into what your town needs most.
