Heard before the Joint Commissioners, 8th-26th March 2007, Palmerston North

“My evidence consists of four areas of concern.

“The first is a presentation of a survey of Visual and Noise effects experienced by residents currently living close to the existing wind farms in the Tararua and Ruahine ranges.
“The second aspect is a review of literature on health effects, other than hearing loss, from exposure to noise and vibration as well as the transmission of noise and vibration into buildings.
“The third aspect is addressing the suggestion that adverse impacts of noise can be satisfactorily remedied by modifications to homes. Particularly it addresses an assessment of the effectiveness of sealing a home to stop noise intrusions.
“The fourth topic is solar energy and energy efficiency as alternative means of addressing energy supply issues.”
