Show Notes
Equis plans to construct a massive 224 megawatt wind farm on Tasmanias northern coast, potentially disrupting the peaceful retirement spot of long-time residents. The project, valued at $950 million, involves up to 28 turbines reaching 270 meters tall and spans land owned by Winston Archer, a councillor and husband of state Health Minister Bridget Archer, who has declared her interest. Locals and campaigners express concerns about potential weak pushback on community benefits due to political ties, while experts advocate for more transparency. The project still requires national environmental approval and public input on the impact statement, with locals hoping their voices will shape a fair outcome.
