COURT CHALLENGE

INSIDE TODAY

Supreme bid lodged by Delburn Wind Farm objectors OBJECTORS to the proposed Delburn Wind Farm have lodged a challenge in the Supreme Court in an attempt to overturn a planning approval granted by the state government earlier this year. Lawyer Dominica Tannock has lodged the motion for a judicial review on behalf of local objector group the Strzelecki Community Alliance. The case has been filed against the

Minister for Planning and Delburn Wind Farm Pty Ltd, challenging the validity of the planning permit. Ms Tannock is alleging the windfarm was “prohibited” under the Latrobe City Council planning scheme, which outlines where wind energy facilities can be established within the municipality. It states wind farms are “prohibited within five kilometres of a residential zone, an industrial zone, a business zone

or a special purpose zone in the urban areas of Moe, Morwell and Traralgon”. Ms Tannock is arguing the development would sit within 5km of a Neighbourhood Residential Zoned property on Coalville Road in Moe South – within the urban area of Moe. “The minister’s decision to grant this planning permit is invalid and is of no legal effect,” Ms Tannock said. “We are confident of this being

successful, we will be seeking the costs of the proceeding and a declaration that the windfarm is prohibited.” Developer OSMI was granted a permit to build 33 wind turbines at a height of 250 metres each on HVP-owned plantation land around the Coalville, Thorpdale, Darlimurla, Boolarra and Yinnar areas.
