Central Coast Council Mayor Cheryl Fuller boldly fights back against REZ in Central north Tasmania

 

The above letter was sent to Nick Duigan, the Minister for Energy & Renewables and Parks & Environment ( a conflict of interest, if ever these was one), on 1st July 2024 by the Mayor of Central Coast Council, Cheryl Fuller. This followed feedback from the Central Coast community expressing growing concerns over the wind turbine development proposed for the area.
 
Please note point 4:
"Members of our community in properties neighbouring the proposed REZ have expressed their concerns regarding the impact of turbines on human health and wellbeing. As a key role of local government in Tasmania is to provide for the health, safety and welfare of our communities, we advocate strongly for the REZ to avoid close proximity to all residential areas." 

In a bold move, Mayor Fuller acknowledges that there are harmful impacts of such a development upon human health, productivity of food growing land areas and wildlife.

If you live in other nearby councils, I encourage you to email them and demand they also make such a submission to the minister. Here are the relevant email details. (thanks to AG for these).

More blackout events due to Wind Farm generated power supply

source  Here are some links to several recent articles. Interestingly, the usually biased, left-leaning ABC has had to report on these failures. South Australia has had catastrophic failures, which have a huge impact upon the community and vital services. With the insistence upon phasing out coal and gas (which are highly efficient immediate sources that can instantly support the grid. Called 'spinning reserve'), the renewable energy sources are proving unreliable: AEMO releases final report into SA blackout, blames wind farm settings for state-wide power failure https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-03-28/wind-farm-settings-to-blame-for-sa-blackout-aemo-says/8389920   Renewable energy mix played role in SA blackout, third AEMO report confirms https://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-12-13/renewable-energy-mix-played-role-in-sa-blackout/8111184   AEMO says wind farm responded “as designed” in Victoria storms as conservatives pile into renewables https://reneweconomy.com.a...

Contaminated seafood from shredded wind turbine blades in Nantucket

source A recent disaster off the coast of the beautiful island of Nantucket continues to unfold. A shredded turbine blade spread six TRUCKLOADS OF DEBRIS, toxic particles of fibreglass, microplastics and more, all over nearby beaches and in the seawater. Now authorities are assessing the impact upon sealife, including seafood. Read the full article here: Nantucket wind turbine disaster     This begs the question - do we want these toxic particles in our food? In our bloodstream? In our children's bodies? And what are the effects of these chemicals upon human health and development? Especially given the carcinogenic impacts of such toxins.

PUBLIC CONSULTATION MEETING regarding renwable Energy Zone Burnie Tasmania

This Sunday, independent MP Craig Garland is convening a public meeting for residents and those interested in the current proposal for a mega wind farm for Northwest Tasmania. The wind farm is proposed for one of 5 Renewable Energy Zones, called REZ. The relevant Tasmanian Government website RECfit announced in July 2024 their intention to establish these zones throughout Tasmania, including one in Bass Strait, off the north coast of our island.   The problem? Despite the community requesting more detailed information about these proposals, in order to properly assess whether they actually  want them in the area, the Tasmanian Government, represented by minister Nick Duigan, has refused to meet with the community to discuss and answer their many valid questions.    Northwest Energy Impacts Independent MP and Braddon electorate representative Craig Garland has stepped up. On Sunday he will provide a venue for people living in and near the proposed zone. The meeting w...
