Overview
This consultation asks for your feedback on a draft summary of ways to reduce collision risks at wind farms.
Bird and bat mortalities can occur if they collide with wind turbines and associated transmission lines.
This catalogue outlines the available options to reduce these risks, the scientific evidence to support each approach, and considerations for implementation. It includes case studies from Australia and other countries.
This catalogue helps people planning wind farms to use avoidance and mitigation strategies to reduce their environmental impact under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). It also helps regulators assess new proposals faster and reduce delays in decisions.
