The turbines are proposed on environmental conservation zoned land.

My grave concerns for the introduction of a windfarm in such a unique bushland, range from the aesthetic to the environmental. Having frequented that area for years, I've taken my children camping, bush-walking, and hunting on private properties. They, in turn, are looking forward to experiencing the same joy with THEIR children in the not-too-distant future.
It would be heartbreakingly criminal to see such a beautiful ridge-line destroyed by spinning windmills that are not renewable themselves.
Asides from this, the destruction of almost 600 hectares of bush, inhabited by Koala's and birdlife, including the Wedge Tailed Eagle and the Glossy Red Tailed Black Cockatoo, cannot be justified for the construction of infrastructure that will only work when the wind blows, and that require electricity to actually start themselves up! They also will also be emitting humming sounds and emitting EMF.
The residents moved to this area for seclusion, not construction.
I urge your department to cancel this project at the first opportunity.

I Strongly Oject to the Burrandong wind farm.
We have been at 167 yarrabin road and the area our entire life, Why are we letting multi national companys take advantage of us and destroy our communitys our familys and our homes only becauce it is convenent for them to put the electricily back into the high power grid that is close and it is cheaper for them.
This is going to kill all of our wildlife and destroy our water catchment which is used for Australians not for a multi national company. Over the last years our familys have been fighting this and it has put so much strain on our familys that we dont need. This land is for our generations of children to use and the hundreds of people that still use this land today for its serenity, when we have these wind turbines towering over us it will destroy the place.
I hope the submitions get looked at and dont get brushed under the mat like most things do.

I object to the Burrendong Wind Farm (SUB-65755208) as there are several major issues throughout the EIS.
One of which is the fact that the road route planned uses a road not in crown road, but in a different spot to what is legally shown. As the Department require transport route to be on legal roads, the entire current route is illegal and not allowable. The relocation of the road will intrude into personal landowners properties and the required construction of the road in that case will infringe on private land and cause biosecurity dangers.
There has been no consent form local landowners to access private lands for the road upgrade or any other reason therefore the entire EIS is built upon a Wishlist plan which is unrealistic at this stage and unapproved on every level by the local landowners.
Ark have also openly and forcibly misled, belittled and ignored requests from landowners and have told them that they will compulsory acquired, despite the Council stating that there will be no compulsory acquisition and that the company itself doses not have the power to do so. This has been the case in regards to the roads, land and visual assessments.
There was no mention of decommissioning and how that will be funded which is a very important detail to mention to allow fair consideration of the project and allow the local landowners to know the true impact of the project and its long lasting effects.
They also ignored the local koala populations, along with the local flora and fauna, and did not complete any targeted surveys or investigations in accordance with threatened species guidelines, and straight up did not survey several areas.

This property on Worlds end Rd will undoubtably decrease in value due this project.
We holiday here frequently and this will substantially affect the esthetics of this beautiful location.

I object to these renewable projects. There are so many toxic materials in batteries, often mined in poor countries by little children. Toxic materials are also found in wind turbines and solar panels which is so bad for the environment. I have seen reports of wind turbines and solar panels being dumped in landfill when they are past their use by date which is incredibly harmful to the environment and will leave that land useless for many years to come. No, No, No - Stop them now!

I hereby declare that I STRONGLY OBJECT to the Burrendong Wind Farm - Submission - (SUB-65729211). Object to the proposal as follows:

My concerns is the deceptive and misleading conduct of Ark Energy in relation to their Burrendong Wind Farm proposal and provision of photomontages.

Impacted landowners did not receive photomontages from Ark Energy, prior to the public exhibition of the Burrendong Wind Farm Proposal.

This life-changing proposal has already contributed to over two years of devastating mental health/street implication for our community.

It is apparent that Ark Energy does not to provide photomontages from all dwellings, especially from those in Worlds End, as some dwellings are located within 1 to 2.5km of Ark Energy’s 250m high turbines that are proposed along the top of the Worlds End Ridgeline, towering approximately 3/4km into the air above the relative level of some dwellings located in the Worlds End valley below. Obviously visual impact will be horrific.

Ark Energy has also refused to provide Burrendong SOS members with a site map that numbers turbines corresponding to the numbering of turbines on photomontages provided.

This means we have no way of interpreting the photomontages to determine the distance and location of turbines that are visible from our dwellings.

Ark Energy is not meeting the requirements of the NSW Government’s Undertaking Engagement Guidelines for State Significant Projects, we are denied provision of such basic information.
