Welcome to the November edition of the Bendenine Wind Farm project newsletter.
Thank you for your interest and feedback on the proposed Bendenine Wind Farm to date. Community feedback is integral to the development of the proposal – it helps to align the Project with local needs, identify and address concerns early, and provide a platform for community to contribute to the design of the Project.
We recently provided information to the community about the progress of the Scoping Report and that the revised lodgement date of the Report to the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure would be in Quarter 1, 2026. As part of this extended scoping phase, we’re continuing to undertake a range of technical investigations (such as environmental studies and wind monitoring) to improve our understanding of the site and engage with stakeholders and the community to further refine the Project design and Scoping Report. We will keep the community updated about the exact timing of the lodgement of the Scoping Report.
Since the Project announcement, we have received a significant amount of feedback from the community. This feedback has included enquiries into the potential for changes to environmental and social values in the region, cumulative impacts, the potential changes in property values, fire risk concerns and uncertainty around community input into the planning and decision-making process, and expressions of interest from local businesses.
To answer these questions we have compiled a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) which are available on the Project website. We welcome your feedback on the Project at any time.
