How you can help our campaign

There are a number of ways you can help our campaign to stop the wind farm on the Molonglo Ridge.

Write to the Minister

The Molonglo Ridge wind farm proposal will be considered, and ultimately approved, by the Hon Frank Sartor MP, NSW Minister for Planning. Write to the Minister expressing your opposition to this proposal at:

Hon Frank Sartor MP,
Minister for Planning
Level 31 Governor Macquarie Tower,
1 Farrer Place,
Sydney NSW 2000

Fax (02) 92284711
Telephone (02) 9228 4700

office@sartor.minister.nsw.gov.au

Please note: following the resignation of Craig Knowles (formerly Minister for Infrastructure and Planning) from the NSW Parliament in early July 2005, Minister Sartor has been allocated responsibility for matters under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, including the approval of wind farms.

Comment on the EIS (when it is finally released)

EHN set the following timetable, but are now embarrassingly behind schedule:

March 2005	Environmental studies completed
March/April 2005	Proposed wind-plant layout and draft Environmental Impact Statement prepared
April 2005	Open Days held
May 2005	Environmental Impact Statement finalised and submitted to the NSW Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Natural Resources (DIPNR)
May/June 2005	Public exhibition of EIS, submissions to DIPNR invited

Although they have had over 18 months to prepare their EIS (and still have not said when it is to be made available), residents and the general public will have only one month to review it, collate and prepare a response.

Even with this unreasonably tight timeline, it is vital that you submit your comments to DIPNR. You don't have to comment on every aspect of the EIS and can submit a comment or objection to any part of it.
