MT Barker's windfarm is one step closer to approval. The Plantagenet Shire Council has agreed to initiate an amendment to its Town Planning Scheme No.3 to allow it to go ahead.
The amendment will now be referred to the Environmental Protection Authority for clearance, and a period for public comment will follow.
The proposed windfarm will have three turbines and is set to be built just north of Mt Barker on the west side of Albany Highway. The land the windfarm will occupy will be leased from the owner, who will still be able to continue his farming practices.
Shire president Cr Kevin Forbes said the site was well elevated and had good access to southerly winds. The land is already cleared.
