By Kate Taylor<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It came with the headline \u2018new jobs\u00a0breeze into the Ballarat region with wind farm approval\u2019 \u2013 but the media release on West\u00a0Wind\u00a0Energy\u2019s Lal\u00a0Lal\u00a0wind farm approval, and the decision\u00a0itself,\u00a0immediately\u00a0attracted criticism.<\/p>\n

\u201cMinister for Planning Richard Wynne approved changes to an original permit approved by the former\u00a0Labor\u00a0Government in 2009,\u201d Mr Howard said.<\/p>\n

And while there will be fewer turbines, 60 now \u2013 they will also each now be the height of a 54-storey building, at 161m.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only will this project deliver a massive boost to our renewable energy supply, but it is expected to create 641 direct and indirect jobs during construction, and another 49 ongoing positions once complete,\u201d Mr Howard said.<\/p>\n

The announcement also came with comment from\u00a0West Wind\u00a0Energy Managing Director Tobi Geiger, who\u00a0welcomed the Victorian Planning Minister\u2019s decision to approve changes to the permitted Lal\u00a0Lal\u00a0Wind Farm.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a very positive step in the right direction. It means that we can now get on with constructing this wind farm,\u2019\u2019 Mr Geiger said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are extremely pleased that the Planning Minister has seen the value in the amendments and has proceeded to give us the green light\u00a0to move towards constructing what will be a more efficient wind farm.<\/p>\n

Mr\u00a0Geiger\u00a0also referenced the panel hearings held into the proposed permit amendment last year, which saw many community members\u00a0and residents voice\u00a0concerns\u00a0about\u00a0the\u00a0project.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019d also like to acknowledge the community that took the time to make submissions to the planning panel and attend the hearing. We appreciate the time and effort they made so that the panel members could gain a better understanding of the project and the community that surrounds it.\u201d<\/p>\n

West Wind Energy will establish a Lal\u00a0Lal\u00a0Wind Farm Community Fund Program, which will provide $60,000 each year for a range of local initiatives, projects and events that benefit the local community.<\/p>\n

Central Ward Councillor Paul Tatchell, who presented at\u00a0the\u00a0panel hearing on behalf of the\u00a0Ballan Chamber of\u00a0Commerce, was not happy with the decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not anti-wind farm; regardless of the science,\u00a0regardless of\u00a0the ongoing debate of health and wind farms,\u00a0is it\u00a0reasonable\u00a0that\u00a0we\u00a0accept\u00a0there\u00a0are\u00a0people\u00a0under a lot of duress in terms\u00a0of this lack of consultation by one of the ministers, who in fact has never been to the wind farm site?\u00a0If you don\u2019t understand\u00a0the people, and you\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0take the time to listen\u00a0to\u00a0their concerns,\u00a0how\u00a0the hell do you make a decision\u00a0like\u00a0this?\u201d Cr Tatchell said.<\/p>\n

John McMahon, who led the group lobbying against the changes, declined to comment on the announcement until he has seen a copy of the amended permit.<\/p>\n

That could take\u00a0a while.<\/p>\n

As Cr\u00a0Tatchell\u00a0pointed out, the full permit has not been seen by anyone other than the government and West\u00a0Wind \u2013 adding that the government must have meant to notify Moorabool Shire Council of the decision via the Ballarat Courier\u00a0because\u00a0as yet\u00a0no notification has been sent to council on the decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe issue that I have is that while the premier and the minister may not know where Moorabool is because they only drive through it, you would think at the very least one of the many politicians in Ballarat would pick up the phone, send an email, or use a bloody carrier pigeon to let us know on a decision that\u2019s been made by the right honourable Member for City-centric Politics, the planning minister, without even sending through the results from the panel, who has rubber stamped an ongoing liability to the ratepayers of the Moorabool Shire,\u201d Cr Tatchell said.<\/p>\n

He added that the benefits of local jobs would not be so local.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reality is,\u00a0the\u00a0number of\u00a0people that are properly trained\u00a0in the\u00a0installation of wind farms\u00a0can\u00a0fit\u00a0into the\u00a0back of a\u00a0Goggomobil, so I suggest\u00a0they\u2019ll\u00a0be coming from other places and it\u2019ll be outsourced.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also pointed out that council will be stuck managing the policy, and planning implications and restrictions flowing onto surrounding properties \u2013 as well as damage to roads.<\/p>\n

\u201cUltimately anybody who saw the\u00a0million-dollar\u00a0bill\u00a0that was left to the\u00a0Macarthur\u00a0township\u2026\u00a0we\u2019ll have to\u00a0deal\u00a0with this with no compensation from the state government in terms of managing these roads, and revenue\u00a0raised from the wind farms will never cover the depreciation of our road networks.\u201d<\/p>\n
