Summary
TrustPower Ltd (TPW) is planning to build a wind farm between Sanderston, Palmer and Tungkillo, South Australia, Australia.

The project involves the construction of a 390MW wind farm in a 10,000ha area.

Australian Cultural Heritage Management Pty Ltd and EBS Ecology have been appointed as environmental consultants.

On February 28, 2014, TPW logged the formal planning application with the Mid Murray Council. The application included outcomes of the site survey works and specialist technical studies that were undertaken to address queries raised by the extensive community consultation.

On August 18, 2014, TPW lodged an updated development application with the council.

The public consultation was held from May 6, 2015 to May 20, 2015.

On December 18, 2015, TPW received planning consent from independent Development Assessment Panel (DAP) of Australia.

TPW is waiting for necessary approvals from the Environmental Resources and Development court and the final decision on whether the wind farm will go ahead will be taken in August 2017.

As of July 2017, the project is facing delay due to strong opposition from local communities.
