Rye Park Wind Farm

The Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Rye Park Wind Farm was lodged with the NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) in March 2014. A copy of the EA can be found here.

Since acquiring the project in 2014, Tilt Renewables undertook extensive additional site investigations and community and stakeholder consultation. As a result, a number of refinements were made to the layout including a reduction in the number of turbines from 126 to 109 and the locations of turbines, access tracks, powerlines and associated infrastructure.

A Response to Submissions report was lodged with the NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) which was placed on public exhibition from 18 May 2016 to 23 June 2016. A copy of the RTS can be downloaded here.

The Project received planning approval for up to 92 turbines from the Development Assessment Panel, NSW. A copy of the final approval and conditions can be downloaded here. 

A Referral (reference EPBC 2014/7163) for the project under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) was submitted to the Australian Government Department of the Environment (the Department) in March 2014.

The Minister determined on 24 April 2014 that the project was a controlled action and would be subject to assessment by Preliminary Documentation and approval under the EPBC Act.

The Preliminary Documentation report was submitted for publication under section 95A(3) of the EPBC Act.  The publication process allows for public consultation on the potential biodiversity impacts of the project.

A Community Consultative Committee (CCC) has been established for the project and meeting regularly since 2012. Copies of the meeting minutes can be found here.
