September community consultation sessions postponed
27 August 2021
Star of the South offshore wind project has postponed community consultation sessions planned across Gippsland in September due to COVID-19 restrictions.
The events in Yarram, Port Welshpool, Longford, Leongatha and Morwell will be rescheduled once restrictions ease.
Star of the South is seeking feedback on its 25 technical studies including marine, environment, social, economic, heritage, health and visual aspects of the proposed offshore wind farm.
Locals and people with an interest in the project are invited to attend an online webinar with a presentation update and Q&A on Thursday 2 September from 5pm. Register to attend or email info@starofthesouth.com.au.
Feedback on the studies can be provided online or by calling the project team on 1800 340 340. People can also call to request a postal information and feedback pack.
To get the latest project news and to find out when new dates for the community consultation sessions are confirmed, sign up to receive updates from Star of the South.
