The 165.5MW Gullen Range, located in the Southern Tablelands near Crookwell, is in the final stages of construction by the Chinese wind group.
According to the NSW Department of Planning and Environment: "It is not reasonable to say that turbines located up to 187 metres from the originally-approved location constitute 'minor' changes."
The department added: "While the company claims that they acted within their approval, the department shares the local community's opinion that the new positions of these nine turbines are inconsistent with the conditions of consent and have negative impacts on nearby residents and environmental areas.”
