REQUEST FOR EXTENSION TO PLANNING
APPROVAL – BADGINGARRA WINDFARM
The project site is located between Munbinea Road and the
Brand Highway, to the west of the Badgingarra townsite, east of Dandaragan townsite and south east of Jurien
Bay.
The Windfarm will cover 17 properties with a total land area of
approximately 21,660ha, used predominately for grazing and cropping with some
small areas of remnant vegetation within the project site with the Badgingarra
National Park located immediately adjacent to the south-east.
As detailed in
the development application and reported to Council in December 2008, the
facility will generate up to 130MW from 43 to 65 turbines (depending on the
final choice of turbine size and manufacturer).
The electricity generated is
equivalent to meeting the requirements for approximately 80,000 homes. The
turbines are proposed to be situated on previously cleared farm land, causing
minimal environmental impact during and after the construction phase.
The
timeframe for construction is expected to take around 16 to 20 months depending
on the number of turbines to be installed
