Epuron is preparing to lodge a development application with the Queensland Government for the proposed Boulder Creek Wind Farm.

The onsite technical studies prescribed by the State Assessment and Referral Agency (SARA) are nearing completion and Epuron has established Cultural Heritage Management Agreements (CHMA) for the site with the Gaangalu Nation People and the Darumbal People.

The Federal Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment (DAWE) has also provided guidance for environmental assessment requirements under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act).

The initial proposed layout involves 61 turbines with a potential generating capacity of 360 megawatts (MW).

Epuron welcomes input and feedback from the local community. Information sessions for the project will be held in Mount Morgan and Westwood next month. At these sessions interested members of the local community will have the opportunity to learn more about the project, discuss any concerns and ask questions:

Mount Morgan: 10am-12noon, Wednesday, 9 December, Mount Morgan Soldiers Room, 18 Morgan Street

Westwood: 10am-12noon, Thursday, 10 December, Westwood Hall, 4544 Capricorn Highway

All are welcome. If you would like to attend one of these sessions please RSVP by 8 December 2020 to Renee or Monica at Wall Planning & Environmental Consulting: (07) 4445 5051 or mail@wallplanning.com.au
