Overview
The major project proposes use and development for a wind farm and associated infrastructure located northwest of Bothwell, east of Tarraleah and north of Hamilton.
It comprises up to 56 wind turbine generators and associated hardstands, a battery energy storage system, electricity reticulation, connection to an existing transmission line, substation and switchyard, access roads, carparking, buildings and associated infrastructure, temporary construction facilities including construction compound, concrete batching plant and quarries on a site of approximately 8,460 hectares.
This is the second stage of the major project assessment process under the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993 (the Act). The Major Project Impact Statement (MPIS) prepared by the proponent is assessed by the Development Assessment Panel (the Panel) against the assessment criteria. The Panel publicly exhibits the proposal and MPIS and invites comment. The Panel then decides whether to grant a major project permit.
