PUTTING giant wind turbines on Cape Bridgewater stills finds favour with Glenelg Shire. At its December meeting, the shire reaffirmed its support for the Portland windfarm project, which includes Cape Bridgewater.
Its support was in response to the Portland Tourist Association who asked council to `put a halt' to the Cape Bridgewater windfarm. The association claimed council and/or the State Government were allowing the Cape Bridgewater windfarm to go ahead before those on Point Danger and Cape Grant.
The tourist association also claimed;
- Pacific Hydro hadn't consulted with the community regarding alterations to the number and size of the towers on Cape Bridgewater.
- The State Government was allowing Pacific Hydro to import blades for the Cape Bridgewater windfarm.
