We are opposed to the Bango windfarm development for a number of reasons.

Primarily the visual impact they have on the rural landscape is significant. The existing windfarms outside of Crookwell and toward Gunning scar the landscape, and due to the fact they are typically located on ridge tops, the concept of blending them into the foreground and background is not a reality - the proposed towers are now 200m high - nothing will hide them, and it will ruin the historic and picturesque landscape.

Similarly there is a move with European windfarms to locate them off the coast, rather than on-shore or at least 10km from dwellings due to infrasound impacts.

Other concerns include lack of financial viability. Any local earning potential is virtually worthless as funds generated will transfer to the parent holding company (based in Thailand), and there will only be a very small amount of local labour employed in the initial assembly (noting they are all imported products). After which the turbines will be monitored remotely, controlled remotely and serviced by 'fly-in, fly-out' technicians.

Solar should be the alternate clean energy source considered due to its very low impact on visual, health, wildlife, fire fighting.

I, William Kelly would fully support the construction and operation of the Bango Windfarm. I feel that it is a very well planned and socially responsible project that is sited in an optimum position for most people and wind

I think that this is an excellent site for a wind farm as the country is not viable for many enterprises but merino sheep and the beneficiaries of the wind farm will have a buffer against hard times on the land and help with succession planning.

The site is a good wind tunnel and well thought out

This is a great opportunity for this area to benefit from infrastructure that will bring in money to the area. This area is a great area for wind and I do not know of any locals that do not support this venture. It is very well thought out
