• Will the height of the wind turbines change?
• Visibility of wind turbines
• What are the job opportunities?
• What are some other community benefits?

Epuron is committed to the Clean Energy Council’s Best Practice Charter and knows that collaboration with local communities is fundamental for project success.

The planning process for wind farms is lengthy and rigorous, and the Environment Protection Authority requires comprehensive, accurate, technical and evidence-based assessments for the Development Proposal and Environment Management Plan.
