Epuron has submitted its development application and Environmental Impact Statement to the Queensland Government for Lotus Creek Wind Farm. The proposal is for up to 55 wind turbines and associated infrastructure on a site approximately 20 km west of St Lawrence in central Queensland.

The lodgment follows a significant revision of the project’s design to avoid priority habitat for koalas and greater gliders. The redesign also reduced the project area by 40%.

Epuron has also finalised ecological survey work and its response to a request for further information from the Australian Department of Agriculture, Water and Environment (DAWE) for the proposal’s assessment under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). Once this has been accepted by DAWE it will be placed on public exhibition.

A local information session will be held early next year to give interested members of the community an opportunity to learn more about the proposal and discuss it with the project team.
