I object to the Rye Park Wind Farm on the basis that it divide communities on a unproven technology that is taking over our rural landscape away from all Australians. The NSW government need to start listing to your rate payers and local politician and review the subsidising of all wind farm company's before we are or living in a industrial wasteland . The high devaluing of our homes and property's is of great concern and should be taken as personal attack on our lives. Within your environmental assessment it seems to me that my wife and children are of no importance. I know we all need to make changes and it upsets me that Canberra politician can push a 90% reduction of greenhouse emission onto the NSW surrounding population when if the tables were turned and were pushing this onto Canberra residents they would be hunted out of office.

I object to the Rye Park Wind Farm, as I think current policy and legislation need to fairly set in place before going ahead with more wind farms in NSW. As it stands currently wind farm companies due not have strict guideline to adhere to and follow. While properties hosting the wind farm do benefit financially, there no protection for surrounding properties that are affected by the wind farms in both financial terms and quality of living. .

I herein object to the Rye Park Wind Farm Development on the followings grounds as outlined in the attached file. In summary the Environmental Assessment is false and misleading. The public consultation process as outlined in the EA is misleading. The development is a threat to the local environment and maybe economically unviable.

I object to the Rye Park Wind Farm, because policy and legislation is unfair and lacks substance. As the draft guidelines are in fact only in draft formmat.Let's be honest - the wind farm company's have no formal requirement to adhere too. I'm sure people in Manly , Sydney would be up in arms if a Wind Turbine was to be built there! so why do the same to regional areas ? at least give us choice - Tell us before we buy the land or pay us out!!

Under current Legislation there is no proctection for Landholders. If company's are spending millions of tax payer dollars on building these things - spare some funs to buy out the unhappy landholders!, let them move on to another location.

Please don't force this on people - would you like one in your back yard ?

Sit up and listen NSW and construct a fairer system !!!

I object strongly to the Rye Park Wind Farm, as policy and legislation needs to change and become fairer and have more substance prior to any further approval of wind farms. As the draft guidelines are in fact only in draft and the wind farm company has no formal requirement to adhere to them, there is a huge lack of protection for non hosting properties forced to live near wind turbines. The constant stream of community division and community concerns that erupt with each new wind farm proposal is red light to NSW Government that more needs to be done, yet every single rural community faced with a wind farm has its opinions and concerns blatantly ignored by Government. When will you take into account those people directly affected by these monstrosities instead of just focusing on the financial dividends.

I have the following concerns re the proposed development:
1] the effect the noise will have on my & other residents' wellbeing in Rye Park - particularly on the staff & children attending the Rye Park School which is within 3 k's of the towers.
2]The detrimental effect on flora & fauna in the area including the endangered Superb Parrot, Wedgetail Eagle, Scarlet Robin & Dusky Woodswallow.
3] The possible erosion of the area caused by earthworks & road construction which reportedly has happened in current windfarm sites.
4] The possibility that when the towers have reached their useby date, the owner company has gone bankrupt & the towers are then left to deteriorate or the host is left with the responsibility & cost of dismantling them.
5] In the event of a bushfire occurring in the area, the restriction of access of firefighting units & waterbombing helicopters. Also the effect of a bushfire on the towers.
6] In the event of an accident occurring nearby the windfarm, the restriction of a rescue helicopter reaching the injured person.
7] The devaluation of one's property and the beautiful rural views that the local residents enjoy being totally spoiled.
8] The fact that windfarms are only able to supply a relatively limited amount of electricity to the grid which still requires the main supply to come from coal fired sources.
