Progress Update<\/strong><\/p>

A lot of people have been asking when they\u2019ll start to see the wind turbines go up, or when they will be able to apply for work on the construction of the wind farm. There\u2019s a lot of work that still needs to be done before construction can kick off, which we are working towards in the first half of 2024.<\/p>

To meet all the conditions of the planning permits, we have already completed additional background noise monitoring and we are preparing to conduct a TV and radio signal strength survey, developing our fire and emergency plans in consultation with emergency services and completing a plan to offer visual screening to residents in nearby dwellings. We also need to develop detailed traffic management plans to ensure the turbines can been delivered safely to the site, construction environmental management plans and flora and fauna management plans.<\/p>

Towards the end of this year, a lead contractor will be appointed\u00a0and they\u2019ll oversee the procurement of suppliers and employment of individuals. The first 12 months of construction will mostly involve civil works, including the construction of roads, hardstands and foundations and the laying of underground cables, before the first wind turbine components start to be delivered.\u00a0Thank you to all the local suppliers and individuals who have expressed an interest in working with us. We\u2019ll provide progress updates and keep you informed about tender and employment opportunities as they arise.<\/p>

Consultative Committee<\/strong><\/p>

Now that we\u2019re working through the detailed planning ahead of starting to build the wind farm, we want to re-establish our Consultative Committee.\u00a0This is a great way to hear first-hand what\u2019s going on, share your ideas and give us your feedback about how we\u2019re going! Local community members aged 16 and above are welcome to join\u00a0and will need to be willing to talk to the community about the wind farm and bring a broad range of views to our attention, so we can hear from as many people as possible. Meetings will be held in our Mirboo North office and will kick off at the end of August. We are willing to reimburse reasonable expenses to ensure\u00a0people who want to attend are\u00a0able to do so.<\/p>

The first role of the new\u00a0Committee\u00a0will be to review and update the\u00a0Terms of Reference\u00a0for the previous Consultative Committee.\u00a0If you have any questions\u00a0or want to express an interest in joining, please call 1800 676 428 or email\u00a0CSCC@delburnwindfarm.com.au<\/a>\u00a0If you know someone who you think could make a valuable contribution, please consider suggesting they send through an expression of interest.<\/p>

We are now settled in\u00a0our new office at 66 Ridgway, Mirboo North \u2013 the former RACV Solar site. Most of\u00a0the time we are in the office from 9am \u2013 5pm\u00a0Monday to Friday, however we can\u00a0be\u00a0in meetings or out on site.
