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?
Hon Stephen Dawson replied:
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.
(1) It is three.
(2)–(3) No.
