PLANNING Minister Rob Hulls has been forced to extend the planning permits for the Bald Hills wind farm development.

Mr Hulls said the project would be well on the way to completion by now if Senator Campbell decided to approve the wind farm within the 30 days required under the Federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act.

"We don't have the luxury of playing political games any more with climate change and the Bracks Government is determined to do everything in its power to encourage investment in renewable energy," he said.
