MEMBERS of the Yorke Peninsula community have until March 28 to state their case on a proposed wind farm near Curramulka.
Spread across fours zones north and east of the town, it involves 199 turbines that could produce an output of 600 megawatts, or enough electricity to power 225,000 homes.
A community meeting about the REpower Australia proposal was held at Minlaton on the weekend by State Member for Goyder Steven Griffiths and included speeches by Liberal Party MLC David Ridgeway, District Council of Yorke Peninsula chief executive officer Andrew Cameron, Country Fire Service chief officer Greg Nettleton, and Tania Stock and Robert Debelle for the Heartland Farmers Association.
The association was previously called the Yorke Peninsula Community Group and began with a group of about 40 landowners who rejected offers for turbines on their land in 2011. It has now grown to more than 300 people.
