Turbines still in favour

PUTTING giant wind turbines on Cape Bridgewater stills finds favour with Glenelg Shire. At its December meeting, the shire reaffirmed its support for the Portland windfarm project, which includes Cape Bridgewater.

Its support was in response to the Portland Tourist Association who asked council to `put a halt' to the Cape Bridgewater windfarm. The association claimed council and/or the State Government were allowing the Cape Bridgewater windfarm to go ahead before those on Point Danger and Cape Grant.

The tourist association also claimed;
It believed this importation contravened the community's willingness to have wind farms on the coast.
