A Clarence City Council alderman has proposed establishing a windfarm at Droughty Point. A council meeting has supported Alderman Richard James's initiative and a report will be prepared on the feasibility of erecting wind turbines on council land in the Droughty Point area. Ald James proposed that land owned by the council off Oceana Drive at Tranmere be used but said other sites might be suitable. He has asked that the report consider planning scheme implications and whether the proposal would attract Federal Government support. "Droughty Point lends itself to a windfarm, which would not only be of benefit to Clarence but also Hobart." he said.
