Wind farm development company, Babcock and Brown, says plans for a $30 million wind farm on Mount Oxley are progressing well. The company has proposed building a seven turbine wind farm, which will provide more than enough electricity to power Bourke.

Testing is still proceeding on what interference the wind farm may cause to existing telecommunication equipment, but the company expects to begin the development application process within weeks. "It's been a slow process, but it is progressing well," said Cohn Paterson from Babcock and Brown. "We're just basically tying up a few regulatory loose ends and then we'll start the official DA process."
