[NWW Note. This council acted here on the basis of their experience with the nearby Toora facility. The Bald Hills wind energy facility has yet to be built. It was delayed by the presence of the threatened orange-bellied parrot and other species (a problem that remains despite planning approval). If it is not erected this year (2012), it will be subject to new rules in Victoria specifying a minimum 2 km (1.24 mi) distance from homes and 5 km from the coast, both of which conditions the site violates.]
