MOD 3 - Turbine and infrastructure refinements

Council supports the proposed modification.

Please see my attached submission objecting to this proposal

12 turbines down and 173 to go! Good on the land hosts who had the foresight and courage to remove at least 12 of these monsters.

It is noted that some of the land hosts have rearranged the transmission lines so they don't see this infrastructure from their homes. Pity about those who did not choose this destruction and have to wear the visual, health and business impacts of transmission infrastructure just to get the transmission line out to those same land hosts who prefer not to look at them!

Of concern is the stated impact to the Namoi Blackjack radar. No resolution by TILT, will we see one?

Nothing in this modification regarding the impact to aerial fire fighting, guessing that means this will go the same way as the Namoi Blackjack radar, part of our past and not in our future. No pilot will consider it safe to fly around the 173 turbines, 112 transmission towers, 7 Microwave towers and 10 wind monitoring towers in a smoke filled sky.

Still nothing about the decommissioning, the only certainty is that the land hosts will be expected to fund it.

Yet Tilt manage to weave into the modification the latest catch phrase "intergenerational equity", I wonder how that looks when thousands of trees have been bulldozed in the name of the open cut mine for quarrying material, new roads, widening of roads, transmission towers, substations, cement batching plants and the turbines plus associated towers.

Cumulative impacts? no more aerial fire fighting, no more Namoi Blackjack radar, destruction of native vegetation, endless diesel for bulldozers and trucks, endless water for making concrete and dust suppression and no affordable reliable electricity.

I object I object I object.

There are still 173 too many turbines.

Put this project in the already destroyed environment in our major cities.

Protecting two land hosts homes from visual impact of transmission lines is a joke, what about the countless people impacted who did not choose this. Anyone who chooses to take part should have to wear the full impacts, not cherry pick the ones they will suffer.

The cumulative impact on this community will be irreversible.

The photomontages presented in this modification should be re submitted without the 'fish eye' lense which deliberately makes the turbines look smaller. These turbines will be unnatural monsters on our landscape and highly visible from our town. Tilt need to make public the photomontages without distortion.

What does TILT propose for fire fighting given that no aerial fire fighting will take place in the entire project area? No mention by the aviation "experts" on aerial fire fighting despite a whole appendix on aerial impacts. Do all the owners of the ALA's listed in this aerial appendix know anything about the impact of the TILT turbines to their ALA? If Tilt knows of the existence of the ALA they know who owns the ALA.

It is concerning that aerial fire fighting is completely omitted from mention in this modification. Presumably this is because Aviation Projects don't see any possibility of aerial fire fighting aircraft ever entering the project area.

We note that the impact to the Namoi BlackJack radar is unresolved. This radar is used constantly by our community to monitor impending weather. Is the community aware that this will no longer be a useful tool? What plan does TILT have to resolve this issue.

Aviation projects list the ALA's that will be impacted by the 173 turbines. Are the owners of these ALA's aware of this? Or will they only learn the impacts when the project is complete. If Aviation Projects knows of the existence of the ALA then they know who to contact regarding impacts. Just burying this information in Mod 3 Appendix K is unacceptable.

The cumulative impacts of this project remain unaddressed and unresolved.

We applaud the reduction in turbines and sincerely hope more hosts wake up to environmental damage this project will bring and its negative impact to the wider community.

We note transmission refinements to reduce the impact to two land hosts homes. So Dalkeith and Yarrawonga homesteads get their view protected.... what about the countless owners of property who will have - and are currently having - their homes and businesses impacted in order to get the new transmission to the TILT project?

There are numerous mentions in the modification project of "intergenerational equity". We cannot see how the proponent can legitimately believe that building 173 turbines with the associated roads, transmission towers, substations, open cut mine for the extraction of 700,000 tonnes of rock material for project roads and cement, is somehow going to "ensure the health, diversity and productivity of the environment are maintained or enhanced for the benefit of future generations". Please explain.

We are appalled that the project will also include, on top of the 173 turbines - 112 transmission towers, 7 Microwave towers and 10 wind monitoring towers erected on the ridges. The number of turbines PLUS associated towers obviously make it impossible for large tanker aerial firefighting support. We reject AFAC's policy that aerial firefighting can occur within the industrial site if turbines are parked in the bunny ears position and have had advice from a pilot involved in the "study case" agree that large tankers will be excluded from industrial wind sites, and the principal of Aviation Projects, Keith Tonkin verbally admitted on 27 February 2026, at Dubbo Court House, that large tanker aerial firefighters would not be able to operate within turbine areas. What does TILT propose to do so that the district doesn't burn?

CWO REZist Inc.

I continue to object to the Liverpool Range Wind project for all the reasons I have outlined in my previous submissions. Removing twelve turbines, overhead power lines and access points will not adequately address the issues with the broader project.

I object to the 3rd modification of the LPRWF project. I object to the project in its entirety. I object to the continual excessive demand on the communities of Coolah and Cassilis to keep up with project information and modifications and the endless voluntary requirement to keep up with the multiple developments and attempt to stay informed. Many community members cannot possibly take this time and simply do not understand the scale and details of this project. This project, the quarry, the CWO REZ transmission, the VOW Wind Project - the extent of information and the scale of ALL developments is TOO MUCH for the small communities of Cassilis and Coolah. This project has been in planning for too long, the majority of the community is disengaged, others are divided and other purely interested to see community benefit money spent. The transport routes, road access, road reconstruction and changes - these changes are not well understood by the community. Nor are the changes to ridgelines, the environment and landscapes. Whose responsibility is what part of the road upgrades, at whose cost? The information from Tilt, from Council and through the VPA is ambiguous and there is no clear explanation as to who is responsible for what, and when and for how long.

Given the communities are disengaged in the planning and design process, how is the Department ensuring that adequate engagement is reached (not just opportunity provided), but actually reached and accomplished and agency is given for local involvement and decision making? Can this be evidenced?

I object to the ongoing burden on communities to voluntarily stay informed (spanning not just years, but decades). I object to the continual modification of this project. I object to the lack of transparency around road changes, upgrades, timelines, costs and responsibilities. How many exhibitions for one project is too much? Not to mention the quarry, which is a separate project in the assessment process, yet this project is dependent on it? How many projects in one area is too much?

This project is still far too big, and combined with another nearby gigantic wind development, the Coolah district will be completely transformed into a sprawling industrial zone. The natural and rural amenity will be overwhelmed by hundreds of giant alien-like turbines. The community should not have their homes and lives wrecked by this monstrous development.
