Wind farm rumours at Koyuga

Landholders in the Koyuga area are mystified by the appearance of this weather station, which some believe is collecting data about wind.

Landholders in the Koyuga district have been talking about the prospect of a wind farm.

Several farmers have told Country News a company has been investigating the prospect of a wind farm in the Graham Rd area.

Country News has been unable to confirm the reports.

Farmers contacted by Country News have offered mixed views on the prospect.

One farmer expressed concern at the impact of low frequency noise that could be generated by the turbines and the effect on wildlife including birds.

Another expressed surprise that the area could be considered as having sufficient wind.

Country News understands a meeting was held earlier this year to discuss the proposal.
