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.

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?
