There is no economic case for building Bango wind farm, which would be strategically damaging to NSW. The proposed wind farm threatens electricity security and prices for the people of NSW and would increase the likelihood of future blackouts.

The EIS does not comply with the requirements of the DGRS for the proposal nor with the requirements of Schedule 2, Part 3, s 7(1)(c) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment
Regulation 2000.

The proposal should be summarily rejected as contrary to the economic and security interests of NSW, its citizens and its industry.

I strongly opposed this development.

Contrary to the explicit requirements of Schedule 2, Part 3, s 6(f) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000, the EIS submitted for Bango wind farm does not provide an unequivocal certification that "the information contained in the statement is neither false nor misleading" nor that "the statement contains all available information that is relevant to the environmental assessment of the development, activity or infrastructure to which the statement relates".

In addition it includes a disclaimer which further reduces the extent to which any party, including the NSW Government, can rely on the content of the document.

The EIS submitted does not comply with the Regulations and must be rejected until covered by a statement that wholly complies with the Regulations. Acceptance of the EIS in its
current form would involve the Department in a deliberate breach of the regulations, and a breach whose sole purpose is to benefit the developer.
