Decision: https://lnkd.in/g9F5tQfX
The permit allows 81 wind turbines to be installed on private land to the north of Mortlake in southwest Victoria, five kilometres from Mortlake.
“It’s been a long journey for our host landholders, and this is a very significant milestone for the project and a valuable contribution to the renewable energy transition” said Woolnorth Renewables Acting General Manager Chris Sims.
‘The Mt Fyans Wind Farm project is waiting on approval under the Commonwealth Environment Protection (Biodiversity Conservation) Act, and we are actively working to have this Approval issued as soon as possible.’
Woolnorth Renewables continues to progress key elements of the project but remains cautious until the project’s Commonwealth approval is issued.
