I object to this DA as I purchased land in this area for the peace and quiet & I do not want to look at a 3 towers that I think are completely unnecessary for this area.
When the clear majority are against these heavily subsidised, economically unviable forms of power generation it is the clear mandate of the elected representatives to not provide any clear path....even for investigation. There is nothing to investigate. I strongly object to the destruction of our scenery and this includes investigative elements. Why sit on the fence council, work for majority that are clear on the costs to the community if these monstrosities of no economic value go ahead.
I am against any progression towards the building of infrastructure that will assist this or any energy company to make plans towards building wind turbines. Therefore I formally object to the installation of these meteorological monitoring masts. Tag Energy or similar has no place in this area to try to establish their own positive reasons to go ahead with this mindless environmentally damaging project.
