MOD 1 - Turbine and infrastructure changes

I object to the Liverpool Ranges Wind Works amendment for the creation of a Worker Camp of 600 non-resident workers because:

• At 3km distance it will swamp Coolah, a town of less than 1300 people.

• The source and type of workers is not specified but in all likelihood they will be predominately single, from overseas on temporary visas, not bound to work for more than a few months before relocating, not be compatible with the local rural and aboriginal culture, and not be familiar with NSW and Federal laws; we can expect a revolving door workforce with the disruption that will bring in the local communities.

• All the nearby towns already have inadequate services, including no doctor, no hospital, no dentist, limited pharmacies, limited waste disposal facilities, shortages of mechanics and other tradespeople, to name a few. Large numbers of non-resident workers will exacerbate these existing and already deteriorating services.

Save Our Surroundings (SOS) objects to these amendments because:

1. The wind turbines are still visually unsightly and will also still transform the rural/natural character of the landscape into an industrial wasteland.

2. The reduction is number and size of the turbines "due to significant advances in wind technology" still results in a capacity factor of less than 30% over the claimed exaggerated 30 years lifetime; that is, over any 12 months period the project will only generate electricity on average under 30% of the time; homes, businesses and industry need electricity 24 hours of every day .

3. 514Km2 of prime/good agricultural land is compromised; less land, less food resulting in higher food prices, which is not in the public interest or generational equity.

4. The 1332MW capacity is only equivalent to less than a 220MW 24/7 base-load power plant and so is a very inefficient and expensive method of providing intermittent energy

5. Seventy-four access points from public roads to the site means 74 new intersections to create increased risks of accidents, especially as the project involves heavy vehicles over the construction and operating phases.

6. "Affordable energy" is not defined but all real-world experience indicates industrial wind generated and solar generated electricity always results in massively increased electricity costs to consumers, which leads to individual hardships, business failures and a decline in domestic manufacturing.

7. If the changes proposed 'will increase financial viability" of the project then was the original proposal unviable? Are additional subsidies from Australian taxpayers the real reason for improved viability, such as guaranteed NSW state and federal minimum wholesale prices and granting of free renewable energy certificates worth at least $40/MWh?

8. The proposed 600 person labour camp only 3km from the small town of Coolah, population 1290, will be devastating for the town. No town can cope with a 50% increase of people in a short time and not suffer in all sorts of ways, including increased crime, shortages of goods and services, increased cost of services and goods, cultural upheaval, increased litter and wastes of all types, traffic delays and other consequences.

9. The cumulative impact of an estimated 7,500 workers in multiple labour camps near the towns around Gulgong (pop. 2680), Coolah (Pop. 1290), Cassilis (Pop. 278) and Dunedoo (Pop. 2021) is unreasonable, unacceptable, dangerous, destructive for years, will overwhelm waste disposal facilities, add costs for ratepayers, and deter new resident workers and deter visitors and tourists.

10. The labour camp will rely on fossil fuel to provide energy to the camp from either backup generators or from the mainly fossil fueled NEM.

Submission LRWF Amendment Report – Onsite- Temporary Workforce Facility
Noel Gilbert, 19 Binnia Street Coolah. “The Heart of Country”
First of all, this is a brief submission short on the collaborative evidence that highlights the shortcomings of the amendment proposals; simply because the Document signed off on By Paul Douglass on December 18 2023 was put out in February with 12 days till closure of submissions. Sure, everyone can read and digest the hundreds of pages of Data and find the response and meet with their colleagues to coordinate a meaningful response, in Paul's imaginary world perhaps. Not the real world where we have real concerns for our town and district.
Three things from Application –SSD-6696-Mod 1
1. At the time of publishing of the advertisement, the Minister for Planning and Public Spaces has not directed that a public hearing be held. “Really?’ Is that because Paul is still in Holiday mode and hasn’t sent through the memo? This cannot be the continued direction of dialogue between planning and the stakeholders when the health and wellness of an entire community are at stake.
2. The reports outlining the Emergency Services response strategies talk of Fire Suppression strategies along a Fire Rescue plan recommended to be developed. Where are the documents outlining the parameters to use in such a plan? Where are the RFS responses (they are the responders after all, to bushfire events no matter how they are created) The reports don’t discuss the most crucial elements of emergency services capacity to respond; The availability of local services personnel to respond. There is no mention in the reports outlining the status of Local emergency services and their capacity to respond to a significantly heightened district population and construction industry due to the proposed wind farms and their TWA’s. Our local emergency services in Fire Rescue (also Hazmat) and the VRA are General Land and RCR accredited. The discussions haven't been held at a local level as to ascertain any problems our crews may be facing. A temporary accommodation facility to house 500 people is to be built within two K of the town boundary, are you telling us you expect the local crews to absorb the social consequences of a population increase of 50% and their associated services needs without you having given any thought to how they might do it?
3. The TWA, Waste Management – p37 – Wow What? General waste going to a Licensed landfill, which one is that? Our local landfill is closed and a designated transfer station only. What other poor unfortunate community will be forced to accept our rubbish? Sewage. There is no mention of sewage disposal within the report. What are you Going to do, bring in a hundred portaloos and empty and service them daily? I think not. For a work camp the size proposed, an OSSMS plant will need to be established, disinfection and aeration will need to be employed in a reticulated sewerage system with either a pump out reservoir or an Irrigation system covering 10 hectares or more. Black Soil adsorption rates in the Coolah District have long shown (From Bolus Ribbon Testing) poor adsorption rates as the reactive nature of the Soil packs down into a clay pan like layer in dry times. The spray irrigation of Effluent onto cropping will have varied results with adsorption rates as the chemical composition of the soil molecules to which the effluent will adhere will alter significantly with local conditions, especially in times of downpour and floods. It has been established that, Effluent over time will descend below its assigned absorption area as the area reaches it capacity to process. The effluent will form its own membrane that will follow a claypan until it reaches a Weak point and breaks through to the water table. At any point where flood water comes into contact with the membrane the effluent becomes a major contaminant component. A flood contour levy could be necessary below the irrigation application area as the TWA area is within a known floodwater catchment area. Attached photos.

The amount of water and demand on the chosen bore site flow rates are astronomical, how is it proosed to address these issues.
You have much work to do and sort out before you enter the construction phase.
Noel Gilbert
Coolah

Council objects to the Liverpool Range Wind Farm Modification in totality

I object to the TWA at the proposed site at Coolah, please see attached.

Objection to the Liverpool Range wind project modification and influx of 600 workers to the Temporary Workers Accommodation (TWA ) Camp, which is in close proximity to Coolah township and surrounds. Issues identified are not limited to the following;
Impact on local people, such as: well-being, local business, ambulance services, hospital, waste, water, roads, infrastructure, human waste, emergency services.
Cumulative impacts: are known and measurable, resulting from these types of progressive developments on Coolah and the district. Burden on our environment: changes to agriculture, flora and fauna habitat, our traffic
likelihood of Business travel accidents requiring additional medical support which will be a drain on the already stressed health system at Coolah Hospital, also the Local MPS residence at the Hospital; increased pollution living in close proximity to Coolah township, requiring additional rubbish removal, storage, recycling and sewerage management; the area will undoubtedly require more police presence for the potential increase in offences, ie apply same rules to a TWA camp like any other large gathering or event with a ratio per head security provided, first responders, emergency response etc.
In the event that the REZ and TWA Camp proceeds, then from the outset, the broader Coolah community and surrounds must have major benefits due to hosting the TWA; For example, at the outset significantly increase the quality of Coolah’s currently poor quality water supply from the water bore that has been sunk on private land (the owners Matt Wesley who are hosting the Camp). From the outset, this bore be integrated as the main water source for the broader Coolah community now, and permanently retained after the man camp is dismantled, and the Wind Farm proponent (Tilt) provide the funding to Warrumbungles Council for the delivery of this Water to the broader Coolah township and community now. This water comes from the Sydney Basin and is of much higher quality than the currently existing poor quality water supply.
Recreation facilities are a vital and important part of any community, as such, and at the outset of the TWA camp, ensure that recreation facilities are available and that such facilities remain for the use of the community ie ;- a cycle and pathway to TWA site and along the Coolah Creek Road to Gundare Road Circuit .
Full and complete decommissioning is an essential component to be factored into this camp to the satisfaction of the broader Coolah community and surrounds. The Community must firstly and primarily be consulted regarding retention of any part that will benefit the community now and into the future, and other areas/lands must reconstituted to equal or better condition than it was prior to the TWA Camp.
It should be highly noted by the Wind Farm Proponent and the Local Warrumbungle Shire Council, that roads must be significantly enhanced to minimise the risk of local or worker injuries and/or deaths. It would be highly negligent if roads are not widened and significantly improved to handle the extra heavy traffic volume activities.
It is essential that Local community must, as a result of the heavy burden of hosting a TWA Camp, have long lasting, residual, measurable, positive outcomes, and that the proponent/s must be held accountable to that end.

The location of Tilt's temporary workers accommodation (TWA) at one end of the project makes no sense. It should be located centrally within the project boundary to minimise the movement of workers and keep the traffic down on public roads. Vinegaroy Road will become very dangerous with an extra thousand traffic movements a day. It is already dangerous enough. Using internal roads to the accomodation site would make much more sense logistically for the project and would help mitigate against all the detrimental effects of traffic and social problems arising from 600 workers living on the outskirts of Coolah.

Please see attached objection for your peruse and response.
Warm Regards

CWO REZist Inc. objects to the project. See attached.

The temporary workers accommodation (TWA) should not be located on the outskirts of Coolah for the same reasons it was deemed inappropriate for Cassilis. Public services and roads are struggling to service the local community, let alone an additional 600 workers. Medical, emergency, waste, roads and other services are already stretched. There is also significant public and social risk associated with putting 600 workers on the outskirts of Coolah.
Adding over one thousand traffic movements on Vinegaroy Road each day dramatically increases the risks of driving on this road for local residents.
The developer and land hosts pushing this project to go ahead should be prepared to locate and build the TWA centrally within the project boundary to minimise traffic on public roads, as well as to mitigate against negative social impacts.
It would surely make more sense to have the TWA more centrally located within the project than to transport workers from one end of the project to the other. The developer will be putting internal roads in anyway, why not transport workers internally at much reduced distance rather than all the way around on public roads? If Tilt and DPE take public safety seriously, an internal TWA is the least they can do.

The NSW Land & Environment Court recently dismissed a developers appeal to construct a renewable energy project because it “would compromise the aesthetics of the rural backdrop” & that “the applicant’s modified strategies to mitigate the visual impact relied on “uncharacteristic landscaping” which their local Council contended would be an “alien feature” within the existing setting. This should also be applied to the proposed construction of the alien feature that would be the Worker's Camp located on a low-lying site within the visually sensitive landscape setting of the Coolah Valley.
This worker’s camp will add to the visual pollution that comes with wind turbine projects. Accordingly, all the non-associated neighbours should be offered compensation for their loss of visual amenity in what is now a quiet, rural, scenic environment. This TWA will house more people than the township of Coolah and the people who live out of town choose the rural lifestyle not 600 neighbours in one small area, lit up & operating 24/7.
There are 18 neighbours within 5 km of the TWA. Many state that TILT did not directly consult with the neighbours at the outset of the proposal.
TILT must supply shuttle buses to ferry workers to & from the Worker’s Camp. Vinegaroy Road is a main access road to Coolah, the timely delivery of freight, the transport of livestock & grain along with the local residents access to the road to go about their daily activity will be compromised by the additional 1000 vehicles on this road daily.
TILT TWA should not require an upgrade to the electrical infrastructure to use grid electricity. The proposed TWA provides an excellent opportunity for TILT to establish an off-grid camp to demonstrate the success of living with renewables. TILT should be mandated to run this camp on solar & batteries with diesel generators for backup only. Putting extra strain on our existing power grid is unacceptable, irresponsible & hypocritical.
TILT state that ground water is "generally" plentiful at the site. Plentiful groundwater is never guaranteed during dry seasons or drought.
Which waste collection & recycling facility will the TWA utilise? Coolah Waste transfer station can barely manage the waste from existing ratepayers without adding more than half the district population.
Where is the licenced landfill facility that will be utilised by this TWA?
Where is the wastewater treatment facility?
TILT is requesting that Biodiversity Development Assessment [BDA] requirements need to be waived for the TWA. The location of the TWA necessitates road & intersection upgrades, these 'upgrades' will undoubtedly require extensive land clearing. DPE should not waive the need for a BDA given the impacts of extensive land clearing.
Coolah simply does not have the health or emergency services capacity to manage an extra 600 people in our community. Will this TILT Worker’s Camp be staffed full time with RN & GP? It should be for the WHS of their workers. It would be reckless for TILT to bring 600 workers into any community with known limited health & safety resources. TILT needs to provide their own clinicians and their own rescue teams & their own firefighters, all fully equipped.
Rural people are increasingly being disregarded yet expected to bear the overwhelming burden of these projects & the detrimental impacts on our communities, national parks, farmlands, businesses & mental health. I refuse to accept there is nothing we can do going forward & my aim is to seek legal support in establishing a Coolah class action against each & every host of wind project infrastructure for the devastation they wreak on the rest of their community.

TILT are just one developer in a growing number of projects who don't grasp the lack of services in our community. There are Temporary Workers Accommodation camps proposed within 40 km of Coolah that are planned to house over 4100 workers. TILT need to provide permanent trained emergency staff, permanent medical staff (Nurse and Dr) and permanent fire fighting teams in their TWA. AS the TWA is operational 24/7 so should these emergency, medical and fire teams.

In order to minimise the visual and sound pollution for the residents of Coolah the TWA should be located deep within the project, not on cropping country and not in a flood zone.

TILT are only capable of making broad statements about water supply, rubbish removal and waste water treatment. At present the town is barely able to manage the waste from its existing population let alone adding 4100 others.

Adding over 1000 daily traffic movements (TILT project alone) onto Vinegaroy Road is ridiculous . Traffic movements should be restricted to within the boundary of the project. The additional risks to local and worker traffic will undoubtedly result in fatalities.

As an ageing resident who drives regularly along Vinegaroy Rd, I feel that driving to Coolah will become very dangerous with an extra thousand traffic movements each day. Why can't the temporary workers camp be located internally in the middle of the project, instead of taking so many extra vehicles along Vinegaroy Rd? If public safety is of any concern to DPE and the developer, the camp site should not be built on the edge of town but relocated more centrally within the project.

The temporary workers camp (TWA) is too close to Coolah and will likely cause social, logistical and road user problems for the town and surrounding residents. The huge increase in traffic movements along Vinegaroy Rd of 1000+ per day will make this road dangerous for locals and farmers.
The workers camp should be located more centrally within the project boundary. Internal roads could be built by the developer. This would minimize traffic congestion and other detrimental impacts on Coolah, surrounding residents and public roads. The land hosts at the geographic centre of the project who want the project to go ahead would likely be prepared to facilitate this option as it would be a much better outcome for Coolah and the community. It also makes much more sense logistically for the project for workers to be centralized rather than hauling workers from one end of the project to the other.
The social, logistical and road user problems that were deemed inappropriate for Cassilis are equally inappropriate for Coolah.

This project should never been allowed to go ahead and now to increase the height of turbines and also native vegetation clearing is crazy! There will not be any country side left in Australia that hasn’t been littered with wind and solar garbage.

I object to the modifications to the Liverpool Range Wind Farm for the following reasons.
I think that you building another town, a similar size to Coolah, within 3km of Coolah isn't very fair to the residents of Coolah. They already have limited services and you expect those services to go around twice as many people! Everyone knows and looks out for each other in small rural communities like Coolah, and with this new "community" being constructed there will be at least 550 new people to the area that don't understand our way of life and stretch our already stretched resources.
Resources that include, but not limited to: Emergency services (police, RFS, Ambulance officers and ER), doctors, waste disposal, roads and telecommunications.
Will these households be paying Shire Rates, as all other households in the shire have to?
Police: at the moment Coolah is lucky enough to have a police officer in town. This hasn't always been the case and he is often tasked to jobs out of the town/area. Also, obviously, he can't be expected to be on duty 24/7. How can he be expected to look after twice the amount of people once the TWA is constructed? I don't see any plans to have a police officer located within the compound, which is what I think should happen to keep those surrounding people safe. Our Police officers are already stretched thin and will need more support if this project goes ahead.
RFS: What happens if a fire breaks out in or nearby to the TWA? You have very stationary plans for fire fighting, but fires move!!! Will you be relying on the already stretched local RFS volunteers? Note the 2017 Sir Ivan Fire impacted the area only mere kilometres from the compound. Also, there will be no aerial fire fighting support because of the nearby turbines, having 47 less turbines won't change this fact!
Medical: At the moment locals find it very difficult to see a doctor and our hospital staff and ambulance officers are run off their feet. How will the locals be affected when there is 550 more people in the area? Will we miss out because the Ambulance has been called to a situation at the TWA? Will locals have to wait longer in an emergency because there's not enough nurses and doctors to cope with the extra work load? Will the nurses and doctors leave town because they are too overworked?
Waste: Where will all the waste that the households of the 550 extra people in the area create go? There isn't a concrete plan for this, and Warrumbungle Shire ratepayers should not have to foot the bill of having their waste facilities filled up with the TWA's household waste.
Telecommunications: It's stated that telecommunications will be provided through the mobile network, how will that network cope with an extra 550+ people using it? It already gets jammed with the amount of people using it now. Do the locals just have to grin and bear the reduced mobile network? Why should they suffer? What happens if there's an emergency and triple 0 can't be called because theres too many people trying to utilise the network?
We keep getting told that the TWA will bring money into the town by utilising our shops and services, but what will the workers need to come into Coolah for? They have planned a kitchen and dinning facilities on site as well as recreational facilities. There will be no need for these people to come to Coolah to the supermarket, bakery, servo's, use the sporting grounds or spend money in the town. So for 4 years we, the locals, are expected to share our necessities(Emergency services, roads, telecommunications, water) with people who, probably, will add very little to our town.

Submission LRWF Amendment Report TWA
Carol Richard “Cooinda” Coolah
Firstly, I would like to say that this timeline given for submissions is unacceptable – the document was signed off on 18 December by Paul Douglass – Umwelt and Tilt all enjoyed their holidays to put it out in February with 12 days to submit. This is together with the main project modifications – hundreds of pages to digest.
Luckily Tilt has already commissioned the flood information report:-
LRWF Flood Assessment by i3 consulting P/L 5 August 2022.
Otherwise, I was going to have to go into the archives of Soil Conservation Service when they had to design and construct the floodway across Coolah Creek Road intersection with Coolah Road, through the flats to the Coolaburragundy River after severe flooding, I think in mid !970’s – 1973/76. Also, 83/84; 90,92/93; 2000, 2010. More recently 2022.
Heavy rainfall from the top of Coolah hill, rips down the “fourth order tributary along the northern boundary of the site and a second order tributary runs through the centre” Page 36 Figure 2.3 TWA Final.
I believe the same area detailed in i3 consulting report Page 22 Figure 5.2 though my wage scale is not at hydrologist level.
In my estimation, I would not even build a chook shed on that area if I did not want to lose it in the first downpour though you are happy the “majority of the site is not subject to the mapped 1% AEP flood modelling.” Appropriately designed – suggest building on stilts! Though unless they are hammered in and stabilized with concrete, they will move around.
Black soil again with high risk of erosion and inaccessibility after any rain.
Waste Management – p37 – our current recycling is overwhelmed. Licenced landfill – where is that?
Waste water – not yet determined?
Sewage? Not even rates a mention – REALLY? Be aware that septic tanks “pop up” in black soil after rain.
Google -Black cotton soils also called Regur soils are generally clayey, deep and impermeable. These soils expand and become sticky during rainy season and contract during the dry season causing deep cracks into the soil. Local homes have to be regularly restumped and doors never close – or won’t open.
I repeat the report of black soil disturbance from the gas pipeline filed in my submission to other mods LRWF.
Australian Parliament House Website
SUBMISSION TO THE INQUIRY INTO THE IMPACTS OF COAL SEAM GAS We run a mixed farming & grazing operation over 2300 acres, 15km north of Coolah in NSW. We put forward our comments as landholders who have been affected by the existing Central Ranges high pressure gas pipeline and as farmers who are deeply concerned about the security of our valuable food production areas in Australia. During a flood event in December 2010, some 8 metres of the Central Ranges high pressure gas pipeline was exposed on our black soil property. The black soil paddock where this flood damage occurred was inaccessible by road. The main road [Black Stump Way] which fronts our farm was closed with police assistance & the sandbagging process was carried out by helicopter. Repairs to the exposed pipeline & preventative measures to protect the pipeline did not commence until six [6] months after the damage occurred. These repairs were inconvenient & expensive. On completion of repair we have to contend with compaction of our black soil farmland after some 2800 T of rock & heavy machinery was utilised over the area for months. This compaction & loss of vegetation will take years to rehabilitate. The APIA [Australian Pipeline Industry Association] made comment on 17th August 2011, denying the pipeline is to blame for the damage on our property. In an effort to discredit concerned farmers, the APIA spokesperson implies that we have questioned the veracity of the Soil Conservation Service's assessment of the pipeline erosion.
I repeat from previous submission.
It is irresponsible that up to ?500 workers move to a community with known limited health and safety resources. Construction teams should be self-sufficient medically and be prepared for emergencies - all fully equipped.

As construction is slated for 2024, when will the community consultation take place by the construction firms?

Not sure how many uploads site allows but Flood Report and other photos of floodway etc.
I will let others do the social impacts, etc.

Concerns with the Liverpool Range wind project mod and Temporary Workers Accommodation (TWA )Camp for 600 people in Coolah include and are not limited to the following
Stresses on local community eg waste, water, roads , infrastructure , Resouces for workers health and wellbeing.
Cumulative impacts on Coolah with progressive developments in the district, consideration given to ongoing renewable energy projects how this could best be managed ie; extending this TWA for other projects nearby .
Burden on our environment changes to agriculture, flora and fauna habitat , our dark skies; our traffic
likely hood of increased incidences such as accidents requiring medical support; increased offences requiring more police presence. ( rules should apply to a TWA like any other gathering or event with a ratio per head security provided , first responders , emergency response etc.
Worker have allotted staff to participate in voluntary services for the community just like any other resident , Volunteering for roles on the RFS, VRA, hospital auxiliary, sporting or community events such as Australia Day, veterans touch, Landcare , riverwalk , lions club , driver reviver etc
Coolah community should have a residual benefit from hosting the TWA; with commitment to provide additional accommodation modules to be retained off private property and for community benefit potentially in crown or council land.
Decommissioning should be factored and planned and funded by proponent.
Recreational considerations be planned for and left for the community ie ;- a cycle and pathway to TWA site and along the coolah creek road to Gundare road circuit - it was once a bicycle event .
The TWA should not impede our rural setting and we as a community have right to retain our rural scenery solutions for compulsory Screening of the camp with mature trees be installed.
Transport and roads should be enhanced and improved to minimise risk of local or worker deaths. Our roads barely cope with local traffic; it is obvious to double the use and without enhancing road capacity is negligent ; both the government and proponent is being now put on notice that any road death or injury will be blood on their hands and conscience if they fail to improve roads and pedestrians pathways .
Additionally, options by the proponent should compulsory yo minimise the traffic by providing shuttles or car pooling for workers.
Water for the farmers or community should not be impeded by the TWA - Coolah township suffers poor water quality and the proponent could enable better access to the Sydney water basin through it bore holes drilling for the TWA given to the local council WSC.
Compensation for the TWA HOST community Coolah verses Cassilis ; compensation for the neighbours .
Security camera and security staff should be onsite monitoring any potential or incident .
The community of Coolah should as result of burden of hosting a TWA have long lasting residual measurable outcomes and the proponent be held accountable.

Liverpool Range Wind Farm Modification 1 (SSD-6696-MOD-1)

As the owner and occupier of;

“Binalong” 855 Cattle Creek Rd, Cassilis NSW 2329

I object to the modifications for the following reasons.
As our land is in a 3KM distance from the turbines I have asked Tilt the following questions to which we have not had an answer.
• What will be the specific increase or decrease in noise from the change in turbine size and locations (site specific).
• What will be the adverse impact on the local environment as far as temperature change, precipitation changes, surface moisture changes (site specific). Studies have shown in other regions with large scale windfarms there are significant changes. Will this effect some of our pasture species?
• What will be the change in wake effect from the turbines?
• Studies have shown it will modify the boundary layer of the atmosphere and effect cloud formation. How with this effect our primary production?
• Visual impacts and noise will ruin the aesthetics for our paid recreational business/businesses.
• Road and infrastructure – Over the construction period, with the amount of heavy and light vehicle increase, it will be a problem for us to get our children to Coolah for preschool and school from Cassilis.
• Object to the amount of destruction of flora and fauna as the areas are so fragile and vulnerable. A continual decline in habitat will have adverse effects on a range of species.
• Koalas have been located in the Coolah tops national park. What effects does it have on a Koala? Other than removal of their habitat.
• Energy is getting put first over food and fibre.
• An inadequate decommissioning processes. What happens to the concrete? Will there be enough funding withheld to decommission properly. What is the location of the waste deposits? Cassilis Tip?

Taxpayers paying for the transmission lines for a foreign owned TILT (NZ) to profit!
