Spicers Creek Wind Farm

I support the project.

We support this project:
As potential host landholders, we have worked with Squadron Energy over the past few years during the development of this project. Squadron's engagement process with us has been outstanding as they have not just informed, but have listened and where possible adapted the project to suit our farm and management requirements.
They have also listened to the community's concerns about the need for better, safer roads and this is reflected in their voluntary planning agreement with Dubbo Regional Council.
We hope the relationships built with the community can continue via a combined discussion group that would include Squadron representatives, local government representatives and community members.
Squadron has worked hard to develop strong relationships with the local community and have financially assisted local not-for-profits with small grants to assist them with ongoing expenses.
The funds this project will potentially provide to us will ensure we can continue to manage our property in a sustainable way with conservative stocking rates and continued establishment of perennial pastures to improve productivity.
The cashflow pressures created from extreme weather events will also be alleviated and we can continue to invest with confidence in our farm into the future.

As a host landhoder I support the Spicers Creek Wind Farm project.

My objection to the project is based on the impact that some of the wind turbines will have on me personally.
I do not object to the proposal as a whole.
I do however object to the visual and noise pollution generated by some turbines that will impact on myself and my agriculture tourism business.
I believe these problems could be resolved via negotiation with the placement of some turbines in locations that will reduce their impact on me.

I support this project as it will provide jobs & financial benefits to the region, as well as the overall benefits renewable energy projects are providing for our environment

Spicers Creek Wind Farm - A Pathway Towards a Greener and Cleaner Environmental Future.

I support Spicers Creek Wind Farm for a greener future. Wind power is clean, renewable, and reduces emissions. By relying less on fossil fuels, we combat climate change. Wind energy ensures cleaner air and water. The project creates jobs, promotes sustainable development, and enhances energy security. Wind farms have a small ecological footprint and preserve nature’s beauty. Let’s invest in sustainability and a brighter, more resilient future. Together, we can combat climate change and preserve our environment for generations to come.

I support this project.

I support Spicers Creek Wind Farm. It will provide much needed jobs and infrastructure to the the Dunedoo/Dubbo/Wellington area. It will also supply a large amount of renewable energy to the grid.

I would like lodge an obejection to the Spicers creek wind farm due to its location on prime agricultural land that should be used for food and fibre not a half baked energy generator. These generators also are a fire hazard the ability to fight fires without aerial support is a nightmare for local RFS members
