Hosting Turbines

If you are interested in hosting wind turbines on your property, WestWind Energy can discuss the process for developing a wind farm and how we can help you.

We follow a very thorough and detailed process when developing a wind farm, to ensure project viability and to generate the best possible result for the community, including landholders.

Our process for determining feasibility of a site for a wind farm includes:

• Landholder Relationship
• Establishment
• Wind Resource
• Investigation and Monitoring Planning
• Environmental and Technical Studies
• Community Consultation.

For a wind farm project to become a success it is crucial that the landowners and WestWind Energy work together collaboratively and harmoniously. The landowners will be asked to support the planning application where appropriate, which requires open communication as well as providing access to the land when required.

Above is an outline of the different stages of the development process from site selection through to construction and operation, over a typical timeframe. This is a general example and timeframes may alter depending on the size and complexity of the wind farm and the policy environment.

To better understand what it’s like to live near a wind farm, please view this interesting video created by Arup for Hydro Tas about wind farm noise. Go to video.
