THE Taralga Wind Farm, now under construction, will link up to Country Energy transmission by a 32 kilometre long line to connect at the Transgrid substation at Maiulan. Details on the connecting link were provided at last week's meeting of the Upper Lachlan Shire Council by consultants for the windfarm developers, RES Southern Cross Southern Cross. The proposed line will be located on private land where grazing and cropping are the predominant usage.

It will pass through sixteen properties and cross the Tarlo River, Junction Creek, Sandy Creek, Island Creek and the Wollondilly River. It will also cross Swallowtail Pass and Loseby Roads. Because of this, consent will be required from the Upper Lachlan Council. Last week's meeting decided to accept the report, and to request that Southern Cross undertake appropriate road improvements and rectify any damage to the roads resulting from their development.
