Situated near Nimmitabel in South East New South Wales, when completed, the Granite Hills Wind Farm aims to generate up to 132MW of power – enough to power around 50,000 medium- to high-energy use households, or around 150,000 people, and preventing 325,000 tons of CO₂ from being produced annually –  using 23 wind turbines, each up to 230 metres tall. As a major energy generating facility, the proposal is considered to be a State significant development and must prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The New South Wales Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPIE) is responsible for overseeing the development of the project. Information relating to the assessment requirements of the project, including the Secretary’s Environmental Assessment Requirements (SEARs) can be found here. More information on the project can be found on the
Project Information Page.

The Granite Hills Wind Farm project has also been referred to the Commonwealth as part of the assessment process.  Details of the Commonwealth Referral can be found on the Department of Environment and Energy website using the following case details:
