Project approvals

Most wind energy projects in New South Wales are considered State Significant Developments (SSD). Development applications for SSD projects are assessed by the Minister for Planning and Public Spaces.

Before a development application can be submitted, we need prepare and submit a scoping document, this allows the department to provide the environmental assessment requirements for the project which form the basis of the Environmental Impact Statement.
‍
Over the coming months we will be undertaking surveys and investigations at the project site.

These include:

These assessments will also inform the design of the wind farm including the locations of infrastructure. Stromlo will continue to engage with landowners, traditional owners and the community during this time and will provide regular updates on progress.
