Glen Innes Wind Farm Construction Environmental Management Plan Approved

The Department of Planning & Environment (DP&E) has approved the Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) and associated sub-plans that EPS prepared for the Glen Innes Wind Farm  project. The DP&E reviewed the plans against the relevant conditions of the Project Approval and determined they were satisfactory in January 2017. 

 The Glen Innes Wind Farm is to be located on the Waterloo Range, approximately 12km west of Glen Innes, New South Wales. The Project is planned to consist of 25 wind turbines, with substation auxiliary services buildings and connection to the TransGrid 132kV overhead transmission line which will feed into the National Electricity Market.

 EPS’s role in the development of this renewable energy project has primarily been in environmental assessment; developing a Bird and Bat Adaptive Management Plan, a Flora and Fauna Management Plan and investigating biodiversity offsetting along with the preparation of the CEMP, Traffic Management Plan and Noise Management Plan.

 EPS is proud to be involved in assisting with the development of the Glen Innes Wind Farm. For more information on EPS’s keystone role in developing innovative renewable energy projects, contact EPS Principal, Steve McCall.
