Hi,
I am concerned about what the Mallee Wind Farm will do to our beautiful region. I propose that the Mallee Windfarm be set back further from the Gol Gol & Buronga communities.

I object to the Mallee Wind Farm because it should be setback further away from Buronga and Gol Gol, given both are residential areas with growing populations.

I formally object to the proposal for the Mallee Wind Electricity Generating Works, which is set to produce 402 MW of power utilizing 76 turbines with a tip height of 280 meters, alongside a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) of 100 MW / 200 MWh.
The project will affect a site spanning 57,330.31 hectares, with a disturbance footprint covering approximately 444.69 hectares. This area will directly impact the Mallee Bird Community, a component of the endangered ecological community (EEC) recognized under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act.
The proposed location is situated between the Murray River to the south and the Willandra Lakes system to the north, within an environment predominantly characterized by rural land uses and native bushland. Additionally, the Mallee Cliffs National Park, designated as C2 – Environmental Conservation, borders the southeastern boundary of the proposed site.
The project is spearheaded by Spark Renewables Pty Ltd, a spin-off of Spark Infrastructure that is now associated with Tenago Nasional Berhad. This is in alignment with current strategic initiatives aimed at modernizing the regional power grid.
The site is located along Arumpo Road, approximately 16 kilometers northeast of Buronga in the Riverina region of southwest New South Wales, and 22 kilometers northeast of Mildura, Victoria, within the Wentworth Local Government Area. The planning application reference is SSD-53293710, with submissions due by December 10, 2024.

The Mallee wind factory must not be allowed to proceed. It is absolute environmental vandalism, the close proximity of the Mallee Cliffs National Park and its incredible biodiversity including many endangered species of bird should alone be enough to stop this horrific project!

*Inclusion of Engineering Facts, Scientific Rigour, Integrity & Ethics for Assessment & Determinations is required NOT just trusting the Developer & Ideologically Biased Approving Bureaucrats with Vested Interests.
It is ESSENTIAL to include all of the following to be determined by REPUTABLE, PEER REVIEWED INDEPENDENT EXPERT EVIDENCE NOT the DODGY DEVELOPER.
*Factually outline the Engineering Facts of how this plan meets all Aspects Equally of the National Electricity Law Objective:-
The objective of the National Electricity Law is to promote efficient investment in, & efficient operation and use of, electricity services for the long term interests of consumers with respect to:-
(a) price, quality, safety, reliability and security of supply of electricity;
and
(b) the reliability, safety and security of the national electricity system;
and
(c) the achievement of targets set by a participating jurisdiction
(i) for reducing Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions; or
(ii)that are likely to contribute to reducing Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions.
AEMO, and everyone in 'authority', place primacy on the emissions target rather than the other requirements of the NEL.
The emissions requirement was only added to the NEL in Sep 2023, with States tardy to legislate any targets, so on what basis did any Gov act prior to that to impose all this on us? Yet they all did, and still emphasise emissions over other objectives.
NEL is made in the SA Parliament, and in the 2nd reading, the minister there also reiterated that ALL OBJECTIVES ARE EQUAL.
As we have clearly seen proven at Broken Hill recently “Wind and Solar are worse than useless in a crisis like this, because it’s detrimental to having a consistent power supply,” Mayor Tom Kennedy said.
“I’d hate to see what happens in the capital cities in a similar crisis.”

China Runs The Table - Robert Bryce Substack 7/12/24
On Tuesday, Beijing banned exports of antimony, gallium, and germanium to the US. China now dominates supplies of nearly two dozen strategic elements on the Periodic Table.
China has dominant positions in the global markets for numerous strategic elements, including lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper, gallium, germanium, tellurium, antimony, and the rare earth elements.
*It is extremely concerning for Australia’s National Security that the owner of Spark Renewables Pty Ltd (ex Cheung Kong Infrastructure’s Spark Infrastructure spin-off)Tenago Nasional Berhad - would make a statement such as this:-
“TNB Forges Strategic Alliance with China’s State-Owned Utilities to Revolutionise ASEAN Power Grid." 25/01/2024.
*Include Accurate Independent Analysis & Truthful Comparison of all Sources of Power for Reliability, Security, Affordability, Emissions, Toxic Waste Reduction & Minimal Environmental Footprint.
