Have your say on the proposed Cattle Creek Wind Farm EPBC Referral
The proposed Cattle Creek Wind Farm (the Project) is currently undergoing consideration by the Federal Government Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) as part of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act referral stage. This is a Federal Government requirement and determines if the Project is likely to have a significant impact on any species of national environmental significance.
For 10 business days, starting on 7 April 2025 and ending on 23 April 2025, you can review the Project details and share your thoughts. While there is no expectation or requirement to participate, your comments are valuable to the decision-making process. Please note that if the Project is declared a controlled action there will likely be further opportunities to comment through the EPBC portal. RWE is always open to receiving commentary directly.
How to comment:

What to consider when commenting:
The Federal Minister for the Environment and Water uses comments that relate directly to protected matters and whether the Project should be a controlled action, so please consider the following when commenting:
- Why you believe the Project is or isn't a controlled action
- Whether the Project has an impact on protected matters
- How the Project will have that impact
- Which parts of the Project will have an impact on a particular protected matter
- The source of key information to support your views, if possible.
The DCCEEW website offers further guidance on the EPBC referral process and how to effectively submit your comments.

RWE would be happy to discuss any project queries or questions directly. If you would like to get in touch, please contact our project team.
