Mod 2 - Increase Turbine Heights

We did not receive the notification letter until the 24/3/14 i.e. after the start of the public exhibition.

Despite the requirement from DOP&I that GIWF consult and perform additional photomontages GIWF made no real attempt to contact us (the owners of Cherry Tree) despite having our email address and phone number and could have obtained our address from DOP&I.Rather their lame note on page 39 "No response was obtained from the owners of Cherry Tree owners(sic),who now live in Cairns."
So GIWF/Aurecon were aware that we live in Cairns but didn't bother to ensure that we were contacted.What kind of consultation is that and why didn't DOP&I react to this statement (they have our address)?The wind farm may have driven us away but our property is still affected by this proposal.
We want photomontages done for Cherry Tree and still want the promised visual mitigation performed.
The proposed new turbines are 9 metres taller and bigger and will obviously affect the visual amenity more.It's amazing how the proponents now admit that the old turbines are noisy after previously denying it.Now we are told to put up with bigger turbines because at least they are quieter!
Regarding the health effects-there may well be no yet confirmed direct relationship between wind farms and ill-health but there certainly is an indirect relationship.This relationship concerns the powerlessness of non-windfarmer neighbours whose lives are changed forever while they have no control, are treated like they don't matter (as above) and obtain arguably no benefit from the industrialisation of their surrounds.
Powerlessness is a known contributor to ill-health.
