Scott River wind farm
696. Hon Rod Caddies to
the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Energy and
Decarbonisation:
I refer to community
concerns about Synergy's Scott River wind farm feasibility assessment.
(1) How many bore holes have been drilled for acid
sulphate soils exploration?
(2) Will the industrial nature of the wind farm
risk organic certification for nearby cattle farms and, if so, will affected WA
farmers be compensated if they are no longer able to be organically certified?
(3) Can the minister confirm the project noise
levels from the proposed 250-metre-tall turbines will result in constant and
audible sound to be heard by Augusta residents?
