THE planning application for a 64-turbine wind farm at Lal Lal is open for comment. Wind company WestWind Energy lodged the application with the Planning Minister this month and it is now on public exhibition. The application is for use and development of land for a wind energy facility, comprising 64 generators and other infrastructure including access roads, cabling, a sub-station, switch-yard and temporary concrete batching plant.

The wind farm project is split in two sections; one east of Yendon and one north of Elaine. WestWind said the wind farm would produce enough electricity to power 75,000 Victorian hones. The application and documents can be viewed at the Department of Planning and Community Development in Mair St, Ballarat, or Moorabool Shire Council Offices at Ballan and Bacchus Marsh.
