Developers of a proposed wind farm near Port Campbell hope to lodge a planning application with Corangamite Shire Council next month.
Project Manager Julien Gaschignard said Acciona Energy was finalising studies into a proposed 15-turbine wind farm at Newfield but hoped to lodge an application in October.
"We are still finalising some specialist studies, like a flora and fauna spring survey," Mr Gaschignard said. "There are a few steps that we have to go through before we can lodge the application."
Mr Gaschignard said Acciona Energy would also submit a notification to Planning Minister Rob Hulls this week to decide if an Environment Effects Statement was necessary
Mr Gasehignard said the company would have to prepare a more comprehensive planning application if Mr Hulls requested an EES.
"After that I will be meeting local landowners that have requested a visit at the open day," he said.
