Jupiter Wind Farm

I wish to make a supportive submission for the development of Jupiter Wind Farm as detailed above.

As fossil fuel will not last forever, the development of alternative clean renewable power sources should be encouraged now, so that once fossil fuelled power is no more, an easy transition can take place.

My husband and I wish to lodge an official complaint against the building of the Jupiter wind farm at Tarago. We purchased our property in Boro road Tarago over 35 years ago with plans to retire to our 80acre farm. We currently live in Sydney and I have recently retired. Over the years we have planted an orchard and added several sheds as well as other developments as long term planning for our retirement.
There are at least 25-30 landowners along Boro road with around 6 large properties having the bulk of the turbines on them, those large property owners reportedly being paid ~$10,000 per turbine/ year for the next 30 years according to our conversations with the Jupiter farm representatives. Most of these large land owners do Not live on the properties. Thus they get huge financial benefit without the health issues.
We have met with representatives from the Jupiter farm on 2 separate occasions and we voiced our objections to the project consistently, both visually but more importantly due to the detrimental effects of wind turbine syndrome. There are 6 turbines which surround our property within 1.5klm of our 4 bedroom home. 5/6 will be visible from our property. We are very concerned at the 170m tall structures and associated health issues being in the area, let alone so close to our home. We would have Never purchased this property to put our health at risk, and could not anticipate that a wind turbine project would be established in the area when we purchased the property so long ago.
There is a lot of research demonstrating Health issues associated with wind turbines. Being a Scientist there is insufficient evidence to clearly state there are no health risks, as reported by some bodies. All Scientific investigations/ research often report a number of articles both for and against any investigation. It is not until there is overwhelming evidence for either case that we can clearly state that something is safe. There is no such clear evidence for wind turbines only opinions by a few.
We will not move there if the turbines are built, in addition we have been informed that the presence of turbines so close to our property will significantly negatively impact on the value of the property making it impossible to sell and purchase another property to live out our retirement. The Jupiter representatives said they don't purchase properties if there are issues.
We were unimpressed with the developers saying they would allocate a small amount of money (few thousand dollars) for the community or pay the affected landowners within 2klm but that comes with a clause to support the turbines. We informed them that our consent could not be purchased, and we would not accept basically what amounts to a bribe.
Jupiter representatives asked permission to enter our property to take visual impact photos to show us the impact on our property, which they said they would give us. However, at our last meeting they showed us a photo but refused to give us a copy. This is unethical. From the photo we were shown we were able to establish that 5/6 turbines will be readily visible from the house. The position and angle of the photo we were shown was clearly very deceptive to ensure that they were taken through some of the orchard trees to obscure what they said we would see. The fact that they have refused to hand over the photos speaks volumes, as well as the angle of the photos.
Jupiter developers also set up back ground sound monitors on a nearby property which we visited and noted that the monitor was within a few meters of the house, 3 large barking dogs and farm machinery. I don't believe this is representative of back ground noise given proximity to dogs etc. The silence at our property is extraordinary; you don't even hear any birds, so back ground noise measurement at our property would yield significantly less background noise.
We have travelled to many countries in Europe and USA and others, where we have seen turbines along highways and away from people and interestingly we saw very large solar farms in countries which have significantly less sunlight than Australia. I fail to understand why in a country like Australia why solar farms are not the only alternative energy source given our very high exposure to free sunlight and which doesn't have any detrimental effects on humans as solar panel collectors.
We are totally opposed to the wind turbine project because:
* The risk to our health, as there is insufficient evidence to prove safety of turbines and many reporting wind turbine syndrome.
* Fact that we purchased the property over 35 years ago to plan for our eminent retirement and our plans to move are in chaos.
* Property value will plummet according to Local estate agents
* We believe that Solar farms should have been considered due to the amount of free sunlight
* I fail to see why I the tax payer is supporting private business who are investing overseas clients' money, why are they not paying the total cost of the investment, given the lack of undisputed evidence to support it not being a health risk.

The Jupiter Wind Farm will affect my partners property because it is situated 450 metres from the boundary.
We have had the farm for 28 years and when we brought the property there was no caveats on the title warning us that there would be an industrial site on our doorstep.
Our property was suppose to be our superannuation but if the Wind Farm goes ahead our property will be worthless.
We have put years of work and money into our property and this is how we are rewarded. At 67 we are very worried about our future.
The wildlife in the area is abundant and we are very concerned about the affect the Wind Farm will have on the animals.
.

What a great idea, why not utilise green energy, the land around can still be farmed and it is sustainable.

I object to the proposed Jupiter Wind Farm.

I object until such time as your department has provided evidence, which will stand up in court, that the wind farm will not blight the view from my property or surrounding areas and will not in any way, such as noise, harm our sleep or health or harm our amenity on this property or in other ways harm our lifestyle, including reception for TV, radio, mobile phone and internet, and that it will not increase the bushfire threat to my property or increase the difficulty of protecting my property from bushfires.

I look forward to the provision by you of fully researched analysis, in relation to my particular property, to establish there will be no harm and, in the absence of such evidence, register my objection.

IMPACT ON DIGITAL TV RECEPTION

I object to the proposed Jupiter Wind Farm on the basis of its impact on Digital TV Reception.

My property is located approximately 6km north-east of the project area and I receive my TV reception from Black Mountain Tower in Canberra. The Australian Government MySwitch website confirms this, however I receive a weak signal. This project proposes to build 88 173m high wind turbines directly between my property and the Black Mountain transmitter. This will significantly interfere with my digital TV signal most likely resulting in loss of reception.

Annex K details that hundreds of properties will be in the same situation as me, however simply states that this could be mitigated by each residence installing free to air satellite television. The installation of such a system would cost hundreds of dollars if not up to and over $1,000, and it is unacceptable for me as an existing local landholder with a currently working TV signal to have to install such a system at my own cost as a result of this project.

This project will interfere with the Digital TV reception of hundreds of similar rural-residential properties adjacent to the project area. This impact is unacceptable and further reinforces that this project must be rejected.

It makes sense to use the abundance of sun and wind and clear space which we have for energy generating infrastructure. It's location close to the majority of the Australian population is a further bonus.

I have years of personal experience of the climate in the proposed wind farm site. I am fully supportive of wind farm infrastructure in this locality and, like everyone else who uses the roads in and around the area, have experienced no downside to the existing turbines. So, I presume there would be no adverse impacts from further turbines.

All we need is a federal energy strategy to encourage more use of sun and wind to generate energy.

I am in support of the wind farm

Objection to the Jupiter Wind Turbine Project - Unacceptable Social Impact

I object to the Jupiter Wind Turbine project on the grounds that it would have a very detrimental social impact on the town of Tarago and surrounding regions.
Noting the serious issues, including sound, visual, television and mobile phone reception and bush fire risk, that would impact residents within the region of the turbines it is highly likely that the department would recommend that Voluntary Purchase Agreements (VPA's) be put in place for those residences effected. At the very least that would include those up to 2kms from the turbines which would be 62 residences. If it were expanded to those that live within 3kms of the project it would be 138 residences.
In a town the size of Tarago the loss of residents from 138 residences would be crippling both financially and socially. I have children that go to both the Tarago Pre School and the Tarago Public School both of which are thriving with the children of young families from round the area. If residents can no longer live in their houses due to the effects of the Jupiter Wind Farm, enter into VPA's and move away with their families, how will those facilities continue to exist?
The incomes that the inhabitants of 162 residences bring to the region and inevitably spend in the region are significantly more valuable to the town than the possibility of up to 30 jobs (which I find a dubious number noting that Capital Wind Farm employs less than 14 staff). The 30 possible jobs are likely to require specialist skills and as such it is likely that the majority of these jobs are filled by people who live outside the region and as such will have no benefit at all to Tarago. The local businesses will also inevitably lose financially if Jupiter goes ahead as there will be fewer local residents to spend their disposable income.
Having worked in Foreign Investment approvals for a major Federal Government agency I have witnessed the foreign owners of other wind complexes in the region acquire property after property from those that have been so affected by wind projects that they have decided to uplift their entire lives to get away from the turbines. It is unclear what happens to these properties once they have been acquired by multinationals but it is not unreasonable to assume that they are no longer inhabited by families that are an integral part of the community.
Jupiter Wind Farm will have a negative social impact on the town that I love, on the town that locals continue to work so hard to build into an inclusive and vibrant community.

Re Jupiter Wind Farm Proposal SSD 13_6277

I object to the proposed Jupiter wind farm.

I object until such time as your department has provided evidence, which will stand up in court, that the wind farm will not blight the view from my particular property or surrounding areas and will not in any way, such as noise, harm our sleep or health or harm our amenity on this property or in other ways harm our lifestyle, including reception for TV, radio, mobile phone and internet, and that it will not increase the bushfire threat to my property or increase the difficulty of protecting my property from bushfires or devalue my property.

I look forward to the provision by you of fully researched analysis independent of the developer, in relation to this particular property, to establish there will be no harm and, in the absence of such evidence, register my objection.

I have no reportable political donations in the previous two years.



Diane Goble

I object to the proposed Jupiter wind farm.
My property adjoins the southern boundary of the southern precinct of the proposed wind farm. It is the 100 hectare Springwell Wildlife Refuge declared and approved on 26.11.2008. The National Parks and Wildlife Service NSW Summary of Conservation Values of the Property states: This property forms a local conservation network with existing nearby wildlife refuges and conservation agreements. The wildlife refuges Mulloon Creek, Upper Mulloon, Tawarri, Manar, Burrin Burrin; and the Conservation Agreement Sharewater are all located within a 4km radius.
This property is located in the Great Eastern Ranges (GER) area. This is an area from the Alps up to Queensland that is being targeted for conservation on a landscape scale. The GER aim is, through connectivity programs, to enable plants and animals to adapt, migrate, spread or move to alternative locations as conditions change, and to maintain headwaters that are the most important source of clean water for eastern Australia's growing population. This property forms an important section of the GER as it increases connectivity with local areas that are being managed for conservation and is a link between escarpment and tablelands ecosystems. Such properties will become increasingly important for the movement of both migratory species and species affected by the impacts of climate change.
The property includes Grassy Box Woodland, Natural Temperate Grassland and Dry Sclerophyll Open Forest with a Heath understory. Importantly it contains two vegetation types which are Endangered Ecological Communities:
White Box Yellow Box Blakely's Red Gum Woodland - Yellow Box - Blakely's Red Gum Grassy Woodland on the tablelands, South Eastern Highlands.
Natural Temperate Grassland of the Southern Tablelands (NSW and ACT) - River Tussock - Tall Sedge - Kangaroo Grass moist grasslands of the South Eastern Highlands.
The property contains several springs and a permanent creek (Spring Creek), which support riparian vegetation and interesting River Tussock and Wet Themeda grassland associations. There is a range of habitats for fauna including many hollow-bearing trees, woody debris and litter.
In light of the above I object to the proposed Jupiter wind farm and associated infrastructure on the grounds of:
A. Environment
1. Exclusion of valuable habitat for migratory birds and bats including endangered species such as Glossy Black Cockatoo, Gang Gang, Eagles, Eastern Bent Wing Bat and Grey-Headed Flying Fox. The Refuge's habitat also includes she-oaks and banksias.
2. Potential damage to water quality and harm to native fish of Spring and Manar Creeks, tributaries to the Shoalhaven River, part of the Sydney Water Catchment Area. This damage could include disturbance of the land and water table with many springs, dispersable clay, unstable and highly erodible soils leading to siltation and pollution of Spring and Manar creeks.
The JWF EIS alarms me as to the potential impact on water resources ie
i) demand for environmental water during construction
ii) sediment pollution of waterways by land disturbance and accelerated erosion during construction
iii) water pollution caused by improper storage and handling or incidental spills of fuels, oils, concrete waste and hazardous substances
iv) damage to riparian environment
v) water pollution by inadequate management of site compound facilities leading to waste water and sewerage runoff.
3. Wind turbines are a fire hazard as aircraft are unable to access the site to drop water and fire retardant, as was the case during the recent 3,300 hectare Currandooley bush fire, which started within the Capital Wind Farm site. There is also increased risk of bushfires from construction and maintenance workers. Any incidence of fire could lead to catastrophic habitat destruction.
B. Loss of Amenity: the presence of a wind farm 500 meters to our north
1. Destroys the appearance, tranquility and scenic value of a natural bush setting. Wind turbines would dominate the landscape to the north of our cabin retreat and any future dwelling site, adversely affecting the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of our land.
2. Noise: the "bowl effect" of hills to the south, SE and SW. The backdrop of hills behind our cabin amplifies a bowl effect of noise echo transfer and back echo noise.
3. Reduction or loss of bird and wildlife.
4. Area is rural residential. Subdivisions have occurred and new homes have recently been built in the locality as well as already existing. All residents use the Manar/Mulloon Road regularly going to Braidwood, Goulburn or Bungendore. There are school bus stops at both ends of the road. This road bisects the southern part of the wind farm and we are concerned about problems at that crossing.
5. Cultural Heritage exists on my land in an old timber and hessian Eucalyptus cutter's cottage from the 1930/40s and remnants of a Eucalyptus Still next to Spring Creek. The security of this heritage would be compromised by proximity to the wind farm construction site only hundreds of meters to the north. The cottage also be could be classed as a dwelling which had existing use rights which predates planning legislation.
6. Privacy and Security. Presently we are on a private road with access through a neighbouring property and therefore have a private and secure location. The Jupiter wind farm would be immediately adjacent to our northern boundary and we are concerned at the potential loss of security and privacy.

I am outraged to think that there will be built a wind farm in such a peaceful beautiful part of the country near my brother in law's property, Coriole. I have spent many weekends relaxing there away from city life..This wind farm will destroy the views, add noise levels that will disturb the peace and devalue the land..
I understand that wind farms have a place but not in an area of rural residence.

My wife and I are a frequent guests at my friend Ken Pitman's farm 'Coriole'. Our stays are among the most enjoyable of any we have had anywhere because we see no other man-made structures from the home area but rolling hills and areas of dense forest. We go there especially for the incredible (to Sydney-siders) silence and tranquility that silence induces. This farm is in an area of excellent natural quality.

I have 47 years experience in architectural and urban design practice and believe I have a good sense of scale and visual impact. This wind farm proposal is a disgraceful imposition and would have unacceptably high impact on Coriole and all the neighbouring farms. It would be an everlasting blight on this beautiful natural landscape. While not an expert in acoustics, I believe that the noise from the enormous turbines at such close quarters to the house would be unacceptably high. Unlike construction noise for example, the noise from the turbines would be continuous and relentless throughout day and night, even given that it might drop in period of low wind, however this site was surely chosen for its regular wind flow.

I am not against wind and other forms of non-coal electricity production, but sites must be more carefully chosen to avoid disastrous impact on such areas of high visual amenity and with outstanding quietness.

As a regular guest at a local farm I was shocked to find that a wind farm with extremely tall turbine towers is proposed in such a peaceful and beautiful rural area. Several of the proposed towers will be visible from the farmhouse spoiling the view of the surrounding rolling hills. The noise emitted and the sheer size of the towers are totally inappropriate in such a beautiful pristine environment not to mention the impact on local birdlife and fauna.
Whilst it is argued by some that wind farms are environmentally friendly, is it not contradictory to destroy one part of the environment to possibly save another part.
If there must be wind farms would they not be better placed in an area less environmentally sensitive and closer to main population centres thus reducing the length and cost of transmission cabling. Given the recent bushfire in the area what impact would such an event have on the wind towers?Having regard to the issues currently plaguing South Australia and its dependance on Wind Farms is this really wise or necessary? Just another ill conceived plan by a State Government making decisions on the run, with energy in chaos is it not time to take a deep breath until a whole of State comprehensive plan that can deliver real benefits to the wider community, can be thought through, not just a short term delivery of money to a few landowners.What impact on the area will the delivery of wiring to the towers have? what will be the cost? and how much will it cost when in order to get the towers up and running more habitats of animals and birds are destroyed. I have witnessed first hand in the UK the degradation of farm lands and massive cost blowouts in order to preserve the habitats of endangered species that connecting wind farms from the North Sea to the mainland has involved.
So, a great big NO and a great big request that you rethink this plan.

I object to the Jupiter Wind Farm Proposal for the following reasons:-
1. Noise - with a turbine less than a kilometre away noise and other close by we will hear them.
2. Visual Impact - our rural views will be destroyed with turbines higher than the Sydney Harbour bridge.
3. Fire Danger - greatly increased risk of fire and no hope of fighting them effectively with aerial bombing.
4. Traffic - the roads are bad enough without adding large trucks.
5. Environmental aspects- includes wildlife as well as the fragile soils involved.
6. It will effect many people in the community and it is not right that so few should inflict such devastating outcomes on so many.
7. Devaluation of land values - who wants to live near a wind farm.
8. We are solar powered and use no electricity. So whya re we punished.

I wish to lodge my objection to the proposed Jupiter wind farm for the following reasons:
* Location - the proposed Jupiter wind farm will impact an area of the Southern Highlands of NSW that is largely rural residential. As such a huge number of landholders will be affected. Officials from the Department of Planning stated at a public meeting on the 7th December that, of all the wind farms under consideration in NSW, Jupiter is at the highest level in terms of the number of residents that would be impacted. According to the EIS there are 140 dwellings within 3kms, and there are 250 dwellings within 5kms, as well as hundreds more not far beyond that distance. In addition there are many more landholders within those distances that have building permits but have yet to build. With that many landholders impacted by the proposed Jupiter wind farm, and the overwhelming majority of them opposed to the development, it is outrageous that this location would be approved!
* Lack of Consultation - when this project was first proposed there was NO community consultation. This was also the case in the period prior to the approval of the existing Capital wind farm. It is only when the Jupiter proposal was first rejected, after huge community opposition, that EPYC scrambled to set up some token efforts at community consultation, in order to have the decision against them reversed by being seen to do the right thing. Their methods until that time were mostly aimed at tying up the farmers who would host the turbines, offer them attractive remuneration, and swear them to confidentiality agreements. So after that a few token public meetings were held to inform the community. Having attended these meetings, I know that the overwhelming majority of landholders present were vehemently opposed to the proposal of Jupiter wind farm. None of the issues raised by landholders were addressed by the proponents, and the couple of politicians present promised to take the views of the landholders to the relevant government department for consideration. This lack of community consultation, with no regard to the opinions of the huge number of landholders that would be affected, is just wrong!
* Visibility - the turbines proposed for this wind farm will be 173 metres high ie 40 metres higher than the Sydney Harbour Bridge! Turbines that high are visible for 40 kms! The government has recently approved turbines of 200 metres. If the Jupiter wind farm is approved, it would be possible for them to request a modification to have these even larger turbines. The EIS states that many residents will suffer a visual impact - no kidding - but they suggest that residents can plant a few trees to overcome that. This suggestion totally ignores the fact that these landholders have the right to enjoy their existing view rather than have it destroyed by the addition of massive wind towers!
* Traffic Hazards- during the construction phase there will be a huge increase in traffic associated with a wind farm on our narrow local roads, that were not built to cope with such loads. And after that there will be additional traffic associated with the operation and maintenance of a wind farm. I am yet to see a significant improvement in the roads between Bungendore and Tarago despite the additional traffic that has been generated by the Capital wind farm, so the increase in traffic hazards that would be generated by another wind farm in the area is unacceptable.
* Fire Risks - this locality has recently experienced two major bush fires - one started near the site of the proposed Jupiter wind farm, which burnt out 500 Ha, the other started on the Capital wind farm and burnt out nearly 4000 Ha. It ravaged many properties, including my own. On this property I lost more than half my paddocks, winter fodder for my livestock, about 10 kms of fencing, 10,000 mature windbreak trees, and the work of a lifetime is in ruins. It will take years and years to recover. It is a fact that the area covered by the proposed Jupiter wind farm is already an area of high bushfire risk. As our climate changes we have been told to expect higher temperatures, more days of catastrophic fire danger, more electrical storm activity, and in fact more catastrophic events such as bushfires. This summer is a good indication of what to expect with the hottest summer on record - again! It is also a fact that wind farms increase the bushfire risk in their location. Occasionally wind turbines spark or catch fire, the main causes being lightning strikes, electrical malfunction, and mechanical failure. Once ignited, the chances of fighting a turbine fire are slim due to their height and the remote locations that they are often in. While large fire events may be reported by news organizations, smaller incidents usually go unpublished, and official reports about them are not publically available. Added to that is the risk of fires in the associated electrical infrastructure, as well as the ongoing running and maintenance of the wind farm, and the potential risk of human error. The recent Currandooley bushfire, of which I am a victim, is said to have been caused by a crow landing on the high voltage wires. If it really was something as innocuous as that, then an additional wind farm in the form of the proposed Jupiter wind farm will be a recipe for another disaster!
* Lack of Responsibility - Industry literature and local experience clearly demonstrates that fire associated with wind farms is a significant risk, which cannot be fully mitigated. The CFA Emergency Management Guidelines states 'wind turbines manufactured today incorporate the highest quality and safety standards. Despite this, CFA recognises that the risk of fire always exists when electronics and flammable oils and hydraulic fluids exist in the same enclosure. The risk of fire can be associated with malfunctioning turbine bearings, inadequate crankcases lubrication, cable damage during rotation, electrical shorting or arcing occurring in transmission and distribution facilities.' It also states in regard to Fuel/Vegetation Management: An important part of BMPs responsibility is fuel/vegetation management. Partnerships between wind farm operators and CFA are also important to ensure that wind farm operators include the appropriate measures within their plans. During the Fire Danger Period (FDP):
4.1 Grass should be no more than 100mm in height and leaf litter no more than 10mm deep for a distance of thirty (30) metres around constructed buildings and viewing platforms;
4.2 A fuel reduced area of four (4) metres width should be maintained around the perimeter of electricity compounds and substation type facilities;
4.3 There should be no long grass or deep leaf litter in areas where plant and heavy equipment will be working; and
4.4 All plant and heavy equipment should carry at least one 9 Litre Water Stored Pressure fire extinguisher with a minimum rating of 3A.

I am not confident that the existing Capital windfarm, where the Currandooley fire started, had in place responsible fuel and vegetation management practices. It is interesting to note that the Capital wind farm is only now taking action well after the horse has bolted (more than 2weeks after the fire) and they are currently grading fire breaks around their infrastructure and creating gravel pads around their turbines! A blatant disregard for the additional fire risks the windfarm places on a community, and the safety of that community, shows a serious lack of responsibility! The proposed Jupiter wind farm is too great a risk to the safety of the surrounding landholders, including myself and my family.

I wish to object to the proposed Jupiter Wind Farm.
My objections are as follows;
The proposed wind farm will disrupt the natural views from my property and surrounding areas.
The proposed wind farm will have a negative effect on people visiting the area, as well as people wanting to reside in the area. Impacting on schools, businesses and amenities within the area.
There are already a number of wind farms (Woodlawn, Capital) within close proximity of the proposed windfarm, as well as Woodlawn Bioreactor and other recycle facilities, another wind farm would be a big ask of a relatively small rural community.
The high number of residents the proposed wind farm with impact upon.
I do not believe that any proposed beautification project would relieve the impact of the proposed turbines in the surrounding area of my property.
The increased safety risk to school children in the surrounding area and the disruption to their school bus services.
The likelihood of causing health issues such as sleeplessness, migraine headaches and epileptic episodes due to noise and the emission of light flashes from the proposed turbines.
Disruption to television, mobile phone, radio and internet services in the surrounding area of my property.
Increases risk of bush fire within the surrounding area of my property, therefore causing an increased risk to my property.
The risk of devaluing my property in the real estate market.
Possible impact on the animals on our property and surrounding properties.
Possible impact on the native animals residing within the proposed area and surrounding areas.
Research has shown that wind turbines on an average actually only create approximately half of their proposed power supply.

I am a resident of the Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council area and I wish to express my strong support for the Jupiter Wind Farm. In addition to the very significant environmental benefits of this proposal it will enhance local infrastructure and create skilled local jobs both during construction and throughout its life.

I am very disappointed to have discovered that Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council are making a submission opposing the Project and it is essential that that submission is not interpreted as representing the views of all local residents.
