Off shore wind farms
I fully support renewables but I cannot support the proposed wind farm at Port Stephens. There are too many unanswered questions around the impact on endangered birds (the Gould Petrel) and the failure to bring the community onside who consider the community consultation process has been deeply flawed.
Answer
The recently-granted feasibility licence lasts up to seven years, during which environmental impacts will be thoroughly assessed. They now have 7 years to address the communities concerns. I’ll be with the community holding them to account through that process.
