As a young couple who have purchased our first property in the hope to be able to set it up just the way we want it, slog out some hard years and would have hoped to be able to sell it on in the years to come have had it all thrown back in our face with the proposed wind farm. Not only will it effect our business we hoped to set up one day but it has also greatly made us realise that our resell value you be greatly effected. For a young couple that built their home and are complete off the grid I believe we do our own part to help the environment with our solar power and tank water. But why should we be punished by having the sight, sound and value if our property decreased by the proposed wind farm.
Our business that we hoped to establish will be greatly impacting with the noise and visual effects of the shadow that will be casted across our property. We are within the several that are actually less than 2klm of the closet turbine and the Jupiter consultants still can't supply us with an accurate drawing of the visual impacts that we know we will be facing.
It is unfair to see our hopes and dreams taken away from us as we have worked so hard to get to where we currently are. Yes we would all love to own land closer to canberra, closer to our jobs but some of us can not afford that straight away. Instead we settle a bit further out. Put in the time and effort to get our property right. Start a family in the hopes that by the time our children are in high school we may not live so far away from the private excellent schools that are available in canberra. But now we are watching our hopes and dreams wash away as we come to the realisation of what our future holds. Please really consider how many of us out here already do so much for the environment Wether it be in the way of solar panels, planting trees, recycling or volunteering to pick up rubbish off the highways. Why are we the ones who get effected by the wind farm when none of us will benefit from the electricity that they will produce.

We object to the proposed Jupiter wind farm.
There are a number of turbines within 2km of our home, and a number within close proximity to our boundary fence, and we feel that this is too close.
There will be significant visual impacts to our home and property, and the proposed screening for our site is unsuitable for a number of reasons: it would block our views which is a large part of the value of our land; it would increase the bushfire risk to our home and it would violate our building approval by planting on or shading the evaporation beds of our wastewater treatment system.

Concerns for the visual impact it will have from our residence given the proposed height and location of the turbines.

As well as increased traffic on roads in the area that already require upgrading given the amount of traffic that currently uses them and the state of repair they are currently in.

I support the completion of the Jupiter Wind Farm Project and the pursuit of harnessing renewable energy resources more generally. I believe that it is important to begin to rely on less harmful and pollutant solutions for our future and for the generations to come.

In regards to the particular site proposed for the Jupiter project and the impact on the community, I also support the project.
I would like to see the benefits that the project will bring in an economic capacity, particularly for host landowners and for the area generally.
The economic benefits for hosts will allow farming families to remain on their properties, at a time when returns are almost unviable as a primary source of income for honest, hard working families.
The wider benefits such as improved shared infrastructure and stimulating the local economy through indirect support of local business will also be a positive for those landowners that have moved to the area for the lifestyle.
There are many successful precedents from around the world of wind farms being incorporated into communities for mutually beneficial outcomes and I would be pleased to see the benefits that the Jupiter project presents, come to fruition.

I object to the Jupiter Wind Farm Proposal.

I object until such time as your Department has provided evidence, which will stand up in court, that the wind farm will not blight the view from my particular property or surrounding areas and will not in any way, such as noise, harm our sleep or health or harm our amenity on this property or in ways harm our lifestyle, including reception for TV, radio, mobile and internet, and that it will not increase the bushfire threat to my property or increase the difficulty of protecting my property from bushfires or devalue my property.

I look forward to the provision by you of fully researched analysis independent of the developer, in relation to this particular property, to establish there will be no harm and, in the absence of suggest evidence, register my objection.

As a wildlife rescuer and carer for the last several years and as someone who has had extensive practical experience in the Mount Fairy and Mulloon strip rescuing wildlife and on individual properties, I believe that this proposal will have a catastrophic and irreversible effect on local and migratory native wildlife. I have had experience in birds which include common parrot species, black and white and corvid, raptors, owls and nightjars, red and yellow tail black cockatoos, kingfishers including kookaburras and sacred kingfishers, reptiles including monitors, bats including fruit bats, micro bats like lesser long-eareds, goulds and highly endangered bentwing microbats, wombats, macropods and brown, black, tiger, copperhead snakes. As a local rescuer and carer, I have also have been assessing the entire area for breeding, migration and have discovered the entire area is sensitive for flying animals from the north up near Goulburn, the South from Cooma, and from the West from the coast. The corridors of animal movement of Bentwing bats from Wee Jasper caves to the newly discovered Mount Fairy winter roost is logical of the movement of all the cave bats to Bungonia and is the same path as all the microbat species as well as migrating cockatoos and kingfishers. This development is not necessary for the load required by Bungendore and surrounds and the whole proposal is obviously one of the first example of renewable energy exploitation and greed.The recent fires in Mount fairy being started by Capital Windfarm workers but not admitted and the issues of being cut off by turbines for water collection by aircraft are extremely serious for local residents and a the Palerang hill fire in approximately 5 years ago that was serious enough to threaten everything between Bungendore and Braidwood above and below Kings Highway and this proposal could threaten the local modus vivendi. As a wildlife rescuer already picking up the pieces of and ignorant and greedy over-development and community is being asked more an more of.

I object to this Project due to the cumulative concentrated visual impact, noise impact on local residence, potential infrasound impact for adjoining properties, lack of community consultation, fire hazard created by wind farm infrastructure.
I believe wind farms are inefficient, ugly and have no place in the rural landscape.

Jupiter Wind Farm =
Financial benefit to the local community.
Some host income from 88 turbines spent in local community.
New jobs for the local community.
Renewable energy - a must for the environment.

I wish to object to the Proposed Jupiter Windfarm. My family own this lifestyle block on Mount Fairy Rd, which runs between the Bungendore-Tarago Rd and the Tarago-KingsHighway Rd. I plan to build a house there, as I am entitled to do, and I had hoped to enjoy a quiet lifestyle in the beautiful natural environment that surrounds my property, which I should be entitled to do!
Already, I have been adversely affected by the existing Capital Windfarm, which has been developed on one side of my property, and I know that I will be even more adversely affected if the Proposed Jupiter Windfarm goes ahead on the other side of my property. The loss of my lifestyle amenity, and that of landholders in this whole area is unacceptable, if we are to be surrounded by wind towers on both sides! Not only have we lost our rural views and lifestyle amenity, but our properties have been seriously devalued, because nobody wants to buy a property near a windfarm, and so we can't even sell up and move away!
The natural landscape in this area has been destroyed enough without adding another 80 plus turbines of 173 metres in height to an area that is rural-residential, and where so many landholders will be affected. I chose my property for the peace and quiet of country living, but when the wind blows towards the wind towers, it sounds like I live next to a busy highway. There has been a dramatic increase in traffic on our previously quiet country roads, since the Capital Windfarm was developed. The Proposed Jupiter Windfarm would exacerbate that. Mount Fairy Rd is already unsuitable and unsafe for the amount of traffic it currently carries. It would need to be seriously upgraded, as in widened and completely sealed, for any increase in traffic that would occur with the Proposed Jupiter Windfarm! Who is going to pay for that? Local QPRC? NSW Government?
My property is located in a bushfire prone area, as we have seen recently with fires on Boro Rd (where the Proposed Jupiter Windfarm is to be located) and Mount Fairy Rd. The latter started at the Capital Windfarm, and I am very hopeful that a coronial inquiry will investigate the role that Capital Windfarm played with regard to this fire. It was absolutely terrifying and many of my neighbours lost property and livestock. It is well known that windfarms increase the risk of bushfires, and also that the windtowers make fighting a blaze more difficult for the RFS, because the air support is unable to access these areas. If this summer is anything to go by, and hotter summers predicted to become the norm, we cannot afford to increase the risk of bushfires with another windfarm in this area that is already bushfire prone.
Please, do not approve the Proposed Jupiter Windfarm, there are other locations where fewer landholders would be affected, and there are other types of renewable energies that have a lesser affect on neighbouring landholders.
