Wind farm proponent urged to keep residents informed
“From the council’s point of view, I think it’s about openness and transference, so that people - whether they agree or disagree with it - at least everybody is aware of what’s happening, because I think that’s important so there is openness in this whole process and then people know what’s happening,” he said.

Energy company West Wind is being warned against keeping residents in the dark about its plans for a big wind farm south-east of Ballarat.
The company wants to build a 70 turbine wind farm near Lal Lal at a cost of about $250 million.
Moorabool councillor Tom Sullivan says wind farm proposals often divide small communities.
He says West Wind needs to be up-front about its plans.
