Mod 4 - Extension of Lapse Date

I oppose this project.
There should be no extension of time.
Five years is enough.

I am a passionate environmentalist, having been during 1977-89 Branch Head or a senior officer in every Branch (Air, water, Noise, Wastes, Motor Vehicles) of what is now called the EPA. Inter alia it was I, as Chairman of the Intergovernmental committee, who chose 91 octane for the new unleaded petrol. I oppose these Wind Turbines on grounds of (a) financial stupidity, (b) energy stupidity, (c) adverse effects on the environment, and (d) adverse effects on people. I dont agree with all that Prof Ian Plimer has said, but I do heartily agree with his analysis on pages 101 to 105 of his book "Not for Greens" where he calculates that it will take over 20 years for a Wind Turbine to pay back the energy content used to make the steel, concrete etc used in building the thing. Of course by the time you get to 20 years of life, corrosion of steel and concrete will have occurred and expensive maintenance will be required. In other words it is not in the national interest to waste money on Wind Turbines that require money subsidies and may never ever pay back the energy used to manufacture them.

I object to any time extension for this wind farm.

I object to any extension of time on this Wind Farm.

I object to an extension of time for this wind farm. More detailed grounds will be provided to a PAC hearing. The wind turbines need to be painted bright colors so that birds and bats don't fly into them. I also object about the noise and the effects of the noise on the mental health of people living within proximity of the wind turbines. Solar farms are the only safe sustainable alternative energy source.

Please consider the below points.

1. If a family submits a DA to their local council, I understand they have a 2 year window to build or resubmit + pay submission costs again. Will they be paying again as the rest of must ? Are they affecting huge amounts of families because of such a resubmit ? I think not.
2. I feel for all those families who are hoping the venture does not go ahead as (if this is approved) they will have to go through another stressful 5 years of waiting to see it comes to fruition. When does it end ?
3. Why give them more time ? waiting on improved technology is not an excuse to prolong this! If they can't find the funds to build then to bad, they had their chance. Give the families a break. These wind farms should not put communities on edge indefinitely. .

Kind Regards

Duncan

I strongly support the application. Infigen is a good addition to the businesses in the Bungendore/Tarago area. Its plans to increase its investment in renewable energy in our area are commendable.

I trust that, given a five year extendion, during that time our governments will have adopted rational policies for the phasing out of fossil fuel power generation and proper support for the renewables industry, including the Capital 2 Wind Farm.

I object to the granting of a 5 year extension to this proposal. The proponent is afforded unlimited attempts to get the proposal "right" and the community gets 6 weeks to review and rebut. This proposal claims that "new technology emerging" is a valid reason for delay. If there is new technology "emerging" then the proposal needs to re-commence from scratch as all previous data pertaining to the proposal is now irrelevant (size, placement, environmental issues, VI, noise, avian/bat protection, build infrastructure issues and so on). none of the original information in the original proposal is valid. more detailed submission to be provided to the PAC

I am opposed to any extension of time for the construction of the Capital 2 wind farm. Additional wind farms should not be built so close to residential and rural residential areas. Infigen presented only one side of the economic argument, ignoring the economic impacts of Capital 2; devalued properties, the property development losses that uncertainty causes and not the least, continually rising electricity prices.

I object to an extension of time for approval for this wind farm,more details will be provided to a PAC meeting

I object to any extension of time for the construction of this wind farm. The Development Application was approved years ago and the developer should proceed forthwith or have the DA lapse. More detailed grounds will be provided at a PAC hearing.

This modification to the Capital 2 wind farm should be rejected because

- Infigen has been unable to attract investors and there is no indication that this will change in either the short term or long term future.
- NSW has a number of approved but yet to be developed wind farms.
- Change has not been addressed; community attitudes, noise and health and the importance of the landscape including Lake George.

I am opposed to any extension of time for the construction of the Capital 2 wind farm because NSW has ample approved but yet to be developed wind farms and I strongly believe wind farms should not be built anywhere near residential and rural areas.
I live near the proposed Silverton Wind Farm, which has been a thorn in the side of our community for 9 years. We have had to deal with the distress inflicted upon us by AGL through its' own interpretation of the truth and the distress it has caused our community through applications for extensions and then modifications to the proposal. I would not wish this kind of torture on any community and am completely against the Capital 2 and all other wind farms.
