The Crows Nest and Rosalie Shire Councils, developers Energreen and six residents are in mediation over a plan to build 75 wind turbines.
The No Wind Farm group's Jim Harper says the developers have a lot more to do to make the talks succeed.
"The mediation process, which is a court-ordered process, brought to light a lot of the failures in the early processes this company was supposed to go through," he said.
"The industry-generated rhetoric makes a lot of outlandish claims and now they have been found wanting."
The ABC tried to contact Energreen for comment but was unsuccessful.
