    Wind Turbine Transportation Temporary delays – Gateway Motorway / Mt Gravatt-Capalaba Road intersection May 2019 – July 2019 Saturday to Thursday nights between 10pm and 12am Saturday to Thursday nights (six nights per week), between 10pm and 12am, the intersection of the Gateway Motorway and Mt Gravatt-Capalaba Road will be closed intermittently, for approximately 15-20 minutes, to allow for the safe movement of oversize vehicles transporting wind turbine blades and large tower sections to the Coopers Gap Wind Farm near Cooranga North. Traffic will be held at the Gateway Motorway / Mt Gravatt-Capalaba Road intersection and on the motorway off-ramp until it is safe to continue. We will try to minimise the disruption to other road users where possible, but some delays are to be expected. These temporary closures will be in place between May and July 2019. Closure times Gateway Motorway / Mt Gravatt-Capalaba Road intersection • Saturday to Thursday nights (six nights per week), intermittent closures between 10pm – 12am, from May to July 2019 Transportation of oversize wind turbine components Between January and November 2019, components for the wind farm’s 123 GE wind turbines will be transported over 300km from the Port of Brisbane to the Coopers Gap Wind Farm site. In total there will be approximately 1200 oversize transport movements to deliver all of the wind turbine components to site – including blades, tower sections, hubs and nacelles. The blades, which are up to 67.2 metres long, are the largest wind turbine blades ever transported in Australia. The movement of such large pieces of equipment requires detailed planning and coordination.

  • Surat Basin Non-Resident Population Projections, 2021 to 2025
    Queensland Government Statistician’s Office Surat Basin non–resident population projections, 2021 to 2025 Introduction The resource sector in regional Queensland utilises fly-in/fly-out Figure 1 Surat Basin region and drive-in/drive-out (FIFO/DIDO) workers as a source of labour supply. These non-resident workers live in the regions only while on-shift (refer to Notes, page 9). The Australian Bureau of Statistics’ (ABS) official population estimates and the Queensland Government’s population projections for these areas only include residents. To support planning for population change, the Queensland Government Statistician’s Office (QGSO) publishes annual non–resident population estimates and projections for selected resource regions. This report provides a range of non–resident population projections for local government areas (LGAs) in the Surat Basin region (Figure 1), from 2021 to 2025. The projection series represent the projected non-resident populations associated with existing resource operations and future projects in the region. Projects are categorised according to their standing in the approvals pipeline, including stages of In this publication, the Surat Basin region is defined as the environmental impact statement (EIS) process, and the local government areas (LGAs) of Maranoa (R), progress towards achieving financial close. Series A is based Western Downs (R) and Toowoomba (R). on existing operations, projects under construction and approved projects that have reached financial close. Series B, C and D projections are based on projects that are at earlier stages of the approvals process. Projections in this report are derived from surveys conducted by QGSO and other sources. Data tables to supplement the report are available on the QGSO website (www.qgso.qld.gov.au).

    1 A brief chronology of SA EPA and other SA regulatory authorities awareness of wind farm noise complaints and ongoing evidence of LGA and community requests for review of the SA wind farm noise guidelines and compliance procedures M Morris 3/4/14 There appears to be a systemic failure of the SA wind farm noise complaints procedure and the following up of complaints with regulatory authorities as the number of complaints by residents and received by the developers and local councils is not reflected in the number of complaints quoted by the SA EPA. (SA only acknowledges seven separate complaints). The two SA wind farms generating the greatest number of complaints are the Waterloo wind farm (Clare & Gilbert Valleys Council) and the Hallett group of wind farms (Regional Council of Goyder). Presumably there has also been at least one complaint about the Clements Gap wind farm as the 2012 EPA/Resonate(1) study released January 31, 2013 investigated this Clements Gap home variously described as approximately 1.4 km (page 23) and also 1.5 km (page 65) from the nearest turbine as well as one house 1.5 km from the nearest turbine at The Bluff wind farm near Hallett. The SA EPA’s and met with Millicent residents on 14 March 2013 (in the presence of by M Morris and ), and heard the extent of their problems near the Lake Bonney wind farm. The EPA was asked, but declined, to investigate the noise at the Mortimer home. Either the majority of Waterloo and Hallett wind farm complaints have not been passed on to the EPA, or the SA EPA has not acknowledged them.

    AECOM Coopers Gap Wind Farm 167 Socio-Economic Assessment 10.0 Socio-Economic Assessment 10.1 Introduction This chapter of the EIS provides a summary of the Socio-Economic Impact Assessment for the Coopers Gap Wind Farm (ERM, 2008). The following discussion on socio-economic factors has been updated where necessary to reflect changes to the Project since 2008, and to address issues raised by submitters during the public notification of the Initial Assessment Report in 2011. Details of the public notification are provided in Section 10.5. In response to issues raised by submitters regarding potential health impacts, this chapter also provides a summary of a literature review of wind farms and human health. A copy of this literature review, completed by The Long View Group, is contained in Appendix H, Volume 3. 10.2 Scope of assessment The purpose of the assessment is to assess the social and economic impact of the Project on the local and regional community. The scope includes the following: - Assessment of the social, economic and cultural area - Community engagement - Social baseline study - Workforce profile and demand profile - Social impact action plan - Cumulative impact assessment. The desired outcomes of the above actions are: - Defining the Project’s social, economic and cultural area of influence - Engagement with the local community and understanding of their concerns regarding the Project - Informed baseline of impacts of the Project - Impacts and mitigation management - Understanding of the workforce profile and demand for employment within the local area - Impact of the Project in consideration of concurrent coordinated projects. Indigenous and historical (non-Indigenous) cultural values, and the potential impact upon them are discussed in Chapter 18 Cultural Heritage.
