I object to the proposed Jupiter wind farm.

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 other ways harm our lifestyle, including reception for TV, radio, mobile phone and internet, and affect the use of my property by native animal species, or disturb or harm domestic animals and pursuits involving those animal, 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 such evidence, register my objection.

I object to the Jupiter Wind Farm as it is pointless to waste money on these monstrosities. There would be more sense in establishing a solar farm than these eyesores that blight the landscape and disturb the ecosystem of our beautiful country.

I wish to object to the Jupiter wind farm .
The towers are huge and will dominate the landscape to the detriment of all people for many kilometers.
Fire risk will be increased.
The risk to a family of wedge tail eagles that nest just off our boundary is unacceptably high.
Compensation offered by Jupiter to myself and the community is pathetically low.

We wish to object specifically to that portion of the project that is south of the Kings Highway . The visual impact and loss of amenity for a large number of landholders is huge relative to the cost and benefit to both jupiter and the community at large.
The southern section will require the most expensive infrastructure and landscape degradation for a relatively small amount of power.
The financial compensation offered by Jupiter is minute.
The increased fire risk as demonstrated by the recent fire at Tarago is considerable.

As a landowner directly bordering some of the proposal I am adversely effected. The land has been accepted as a conservation area by OEH and one of the factors is the presence of Glossy Black Cockatoos, Gang-gang Cockatoos, Eastern Bentwing Bats and other birds . Gloooies rely almost exclusively on Casuarina species. One of the towers [No.45 on supplied map from proponents] is less than 500M from a stand of Casuarina that they utilize regularly. I have also obseved them and Gang-gangs flying directly across the area to be built on, to other patches of bush.The presence of such large industrial structures must perturb these populations but directly and indirectly due to an increase in environmental noise and activity.
This level of industrial activity does not seem to be in the interests of local landholders or what remains of the natural environment.

This a large industrial scale development in a rural/ rural residential with quite a high population density. The science of wind farms, particularly on this scale, relating to harmful impacts on residents is still developing and at this time is not strong. As such the development is an experiment with the potential to negatively impact too many people.

The development is divisive and as such will undermine the co-hesion of a number of rural communities at a time when the mental health and well being of rural Australians is being recognized as an area for improvement not state sanctioned additional pressures.

Information in the proposal documents is wrong. My home and the home's of two of my neighbours, all in close vicinity (within 5 km of a proposed turbine, don't even appear on the maps. Clearly this misrepresents the scale of impacts on residents.

I object to the proposed Jupiter wind farm project. It is utterly incomprehensible how the department can consider that allowing a further development will allow our community to survive. The overarching NSW development forecast for this area is that it expects and needs to encourage more residential development in recognition of the proximity to Canberra and the opportunities that exist to sustain a rural lifestyle whilst having access to work opportunities in the city of Canberra and in some cases Sydney. This cannot be ignored. Our community cannot be ignored. We are already shouldering two wind farms and the Violea rubbish tip. Many residents also choose to live off grid with solar systems to power their homes. This is the way forward for this area to thrive.
A public meeting was recently held to meet with, hear and address concerns of the local community affected by this project.
Over 150 people attended the meeting. This of course did not in any way count for the many, many residents that were unable to attend due to time constraints or prior commitments. This is a clear and real example of the amount of local opposition to this development.

I would like to suggest that rather than assisting residents to put submissions forward, you have in actual fact failed all the impacted residents and the entire local community by insisting we have just 77 days to respond to a 2500 page document. We have only recently received the high resolution photomontages and further to that, the service agent's responses have not been included in the EIS and we have needed to request them. These are just two of many anomalies that we are left to sift through. We are not experts. And whilst the proponent has had 3 or so years to compile and put together the document, written and collated by experts, you allow the community 77 days.
I understand that the process needs to progress and cannot stand for an indefinite period, however I would suggest that you need to address the weight of influence and advantage that is given to the proponent.
I look forward to the department giving serious consideration to the objections lodged by the community and the gravity of feeling and devastation this is causing.

I object to the proposed Jupiter wind farm project. I would urge you to consider the catastrophic impact that the above project will have on the well populated rural residential area of Mt Fairy, Boro, Tarago, Barnet Drive, Duckfield, Manar, Mulloon, Jamaleopa, Mayfield Road, Lake View residents will face. In the recent fires which at one point had a front stretching 18kms into the proposed area, residents would not have survived and homes would certainly have been lost if the aerial support was prevented from getting close enough to contain lines and minimise spread with water and retardant. Please see this article. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-01-20/aerial-crews-instrumental-in-controlling-tarago,-sutton-fires/8198718 And understand that without these brave pilots the fire would not have been contained. Turbines of 173 metres, which are at the moment proposed, would prevent any close ground water bombing and reloading of water.
