AS the windfarm debate continues, there is much confusion over the actual placement of the turbines. Councillor Roger Norton confirmed that his view, is that both the for and against supporters agree that heritage issues are very significant and have to be considered with every, application.
It is not something that everyone may like, but every application will be considered on its practicality and merits," Cr Norton said. He also said it is a possibility that there may be multiple windfarms situated on multiple visible hills.
Beverley Allen from the Friends of Renewable Energy also said the Snowy Mountains could be a new home for windfarms.
"I would certainly prefer to have a windfarm in the Snowy Mountains than a coal plant. The area could work well for wind turbines and it would remain almost undamaged even if the wind turbines were taken down in years to come."
