Wellington Shire Council has assured the community that council officers are well equipped to make the right decision on the community's behalf in regards to the Devon North wind farm. Council's development services manager Kirn Phillips said officers have the necessary skills to analyse the complex data submitted as part of the planning permit application for the wind farm."Council officers have all the necessary skills to assess the application against the relevant planning criteria," she said."Officers will consult with other authorities, such as the Environment Protection Authority and the Department of Sustainability and Environment, as required for expert comment or other technical advice on planning issues such as noise impacts.
"This is the first application for a wind farm development, so it is in some ways a first for us, but as with all planning applications, assessment is made of the individual planning merits of the application."
