I would like to submit my objection to the planned wind farm at Crudine Ridge. Having avaialed myself of much of the online info web sites etc it would appear that there is no quarentee that this will not effect the people living in this area, having family that live in the area with ongoing cadiac conditions I can see no quarentee that this will not effect them, the development refuses to provide written quarentee that it will not cause health issues and in turn any form of adequate compensation. If there were no possibilty of cardiac, sleep devrivation or other issues then then a guarentee would be able to be given freely. The fact that no guarentee can be given means that there is likely to be a problem. These turbine are to be the biggest in Australia, with complaints and distres being caused in South Australia and Victoria with there current projects we need to go bigget and better, in this case ensuring that there is no information and data available locally with regard to the size of these turbine. I have watched and listen to the distruction of a small community, and it is small. These people have no where to go their views, concerns and life time of work could well be over , who wants to drive an hour to town to get a good nights sleep, or leave what they have sent their entire lives working for. How can we take away the most awarded ultra fine wool property in Australia, the onus should be on the company and the government to provide a guarentee that this will have no detremental effects or they should not proceed. Literature that I have viewed on the econimical value of wind farms would appear sketchy at best the only reasons that this looks anywhere near viable is that the government provides the rebates for this project how can this be in anyway sustainable.It is all well and good to look to be doing the right thing, being green but it also needs to be about sustaniability, the company is any overseas concern therefore any profit ( and there will be a big profit as they wouldn't do this is there wasn't) will go overseas once again what do we get.. In closing it would I would like you to sit in the postions of those who lives you are about to disrupt, be it visually, physically or mentally and think how you would feel if everything that you have worked for and enjoyed was about to be distrupted, changed or made fianicially no longer viable. if there were a problems with this other areas and countries would not have the complains they do

I wish to object to the development on the grounds outlined below.
1. Adverse impact on roads. I am concerned that the construction phase of the project will have a damaging effect on roads which in many instances are not of a sufficient standard to cope with the increase in traffic and heavy vehicle loads.

2. Potential danger to other road users due to the increase in traffic associated with the construction of the project.

3. The proximity of turbines to residential dwellings.

4. The potential devaluation in property values of land holdings in close proximity to those hosting turbines.

5. The absence of any mechanism whereby the developer is required to pay or lodge a decommissioning bond with respect to turbines.

6. The social division caused by this and other wind farm developments.

7. Ongoing concerns about noise from turbines.
