Information Sessions Indicate Support for Hills of Gold Wind Farm

Energy company ENGIE has met with residents, community members and business leaders during its recent week-long community consultation for the proposed Hills of Gold Wind Farm near Nundle.

ENGIE’s General Manager, Asset Development, Andrew Kerley said the community information sessions demonstrated there was strong local support for the project.

“We were very pleased with the number of local residents that attended the sessions to meet with our team, discuss the details of the project and further explore the opportunities it could provide for the local area,” he said.

“While we had many project supporters come along to discuss project changes, we also had a number of new faces, who were keen to learn more about the project.

“A highlight of the week was when over 40 supporters from Nundle and Hanging Rock joined us up at the project site, to get a first-hand look at where the turbines would be constructed.”

As well as the community information sessions, ENGIE’s project team also met with the Hills of Gold Community Consultative Committee (CCC).
