Federal Environment Minister Ian Campbell will be asked to provide another $1.3 million funding for the Denmark wind farm project he has vowed would not get another cent out of the Commonwealth.
The community group behind the controversial plan to place two wind turbines on the south coast town's Wilson Head has applied for the funding through the Sustainable Energy Development Office, administered by Senator Campbell.
Denmark Community Windfarm chairman Craig Chappelle said he believed the project met the funding criteria and Senator Campbell should not deny finance on the basis of his personal views. Senator Campbell has previously written to his ministerial colleagues demanding no more Federal money go towards the project, claiming it did not have community support.
His decision to block a wind farm in Victoria's Gippsland, because of concerns endangered parrots would be killed, is currently being reviewed.
