Updates to State code 23: Wind farm development and the associated planning guidance
We're reviewing how the planning framework regulates renewable energy development. Given the multifaceted nature of the planning framework, the review is looking at strategic and regional planning layers through to development assessment roles, responsibilities, procedures, and processes.
We have been engaging with many stakeholders to better understand the various tensions and pressure points being experienced with the assessment and construction of wind farms around the state. This engagement involves other parts of the state government that have active roles in facilitating the roll out of renewable energy projects as well as different levels of government.
State code 23: Wind farm development and its associated Planning Guidance are used by the State Assessment and Referral Agency to assess wind farm applications.
Consultation has now closed.
As a result of the review and in response to feedback received, State code 23: Wind farm development and its associated Planning Guidance have now been updated, effective 30 September 2024.
