A TEMPORARY monitoring mast has been erected on Leonards Hill to gather data about wind speed and direction. The 50-metre tower has two anemometers and wind vanes at different heights to gather information about the most appropriate turbines for the site.

The data will be used for the positioning and design of any turbines built in a proposed community wind farm. The proposed wind farm, worth $8 million, would include two wind turbines and be built on private farmland at Leonards Hill.
