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 will offer advice from relevant experts about the technology involved and the impacts these machines are likely to have upon our wildlife, our food growing areas and most vital of all - human health. These issues have arisen because of growing concerns around the globe about this technology and the unintended consequences these wind factory developments have upon local areas and people living within those areas.
 
Meeting details
WHERE        Burnie Town Hall, Burnie Arts Centre, 77-79 Wilmot St, Burnie 
WHEN           Sunday September 1st at 1 pm
 

The above brochure has been created by Craig Garland's office and distributed by the community, so some residents may not have seen it yet. Please take the time to peruse the details. Take a screenshot or download the jpeg and share to as many people as possible!
 
All members of the public are welcome to the Burnie Town Hall meeting. Please bring along your questions, preferably in written form, so that you can hand them in to Craig Garland if time runs out to hear them. Make sure to include your name and contact details if you would like feedback or acknowledgement of your concerns.
 
PLEASE SHARE THIS INFORMATION! As citizens, we only have democratic power if we stand together and demand that our voices be heard. If this development won't harm us, why is the minister refusing to answer our questions? Come along and find out what is actually happening with these types of developments. Decide for yourself if wind technology is what you want for your own community.

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.
