AN expert panel that will make a recommendation about the Hawkesdale wind farm to the Victorian Planning Minister will begin sitting next week. Plans for the $145 million wind farm include 31 turbines across 2280 hectares of farming land Hawkesdale.
Panel members Nick Wimbush. David Rae and Leon Colleett will listen to 11 submissions across four days starting at 10am next Wednesday at the Port Fairy Yacht Club. At the hearing proponent TME Australia will outline the project and call experts on shadow flicker, flora and fauna and noise issues. Two days of evidence will be given.
The following Tuesday the panel will sit at the yacht club and receive submissions from Moyne Shire, the Department of Sustainability and Environment and a neighbour to the proposed development.
On the final day, Wednesday, April 18, the panel will meet at the Hawkesdale Football Netball Club and be addressed by the Framlinghamn Aboriginal Trust and another neighbour of the project.
