Albany & Great Southern Weekender

THE organisation proposing a wind farm in claims a local group is deliberately turning the community against it. Denmark Community Wind Farm (DCW) chairman Craig Chappelle said virtually every statement made by a spokesman for South Coast Landscape Guardians in the Weekender on March 27, was incorrect. "DCW is a registered not-for-profit organisation, whose constitution clearly states that the project is to be owned and operated by the community," he said.
"Otherwise the project wouldn't have received the subsidy that SLCG keep banging on about." Mr Chappelle said that with increased Federal and State Government attention on renewable energy, more money was available for projects such as the windfarm. DCW's feasibility study had shown that the project was viable, and would supply five times more energy than the 10 per cent claimed by SLCG. "We have identified a more practical access route that avoids the lime pit and will allow the public to freely visit the windfarm."
