As I have indicated, I have not been able to find a specific brief on this wind farm in the time available. Whether it is a proposal or an existing wind farm I am just not aware. As I have indicated, the regulation and approval of wind farm developments, including issues relating to noise and land use impacts, are a matter for relevant state and territory authorities. As to the question of whether the particular wind farm has received renewable energy certificates, I will take that on notice. As I say, I have not been able to find details in the time available. Information on renewable energy certificate creation and accredited power stations is available online at the website of the Office of the Renewable Energy Regulator.
