Reason for this Petition

This petition of residents of the Australian Capital Territory draws to the attention of the House that:

1. We as residents of NSW and the Southern Tablelands are not in favour of industrial wind turbines in non-industrial zoned areas.

2. Industrial wind farms will impact on the health, visual amenity of our community, our land values and lifestyle.

3. If the Australian Capital Territory Government wants wind power it should build the facilities in the Australian Capital Territory.

4. Industrial wind turbines not be built within 5 kilometres of any dwelling.

Petitioners therefore request the Assembly to:

1. Stop approving/sponsoring industrial wind turbines being built in non-industrial areas.

2. Require that industrial wind turbines not be built within 5 kilometres of any dwelling.

3. Require that if the Australian Capital Territory Government wants wind power, then the wind turbines should be built in the Australian Capital Territory.
