This is a free community event hosted by Rainforest Reserves Australia.

Advertised as "clean and green", poorly-sited wind and solar developments are anything but.

It's not too late to stand up and say "No" to inappropriately sited wind developments that are at the proposal stage in NQ. Come along to the Tully Community Information Event and find out more.

When wind developments are constructed on ecologically rich NQ landscapes:

  • Landscapes of cultural significance are lost forever.

  • Wildlife is relocated, maimed, injured, killed.

  • Mountain tops are dynamite blasted creating extensive soil erosion.

  • Feral pests such as dogs, pigs and cats are granted "easy access" to wilderness via thousands of km's of newly created haulage roads.

  • Invasive weeds are introduced - extremely difficult and costly to remove.

  • High conservation value bats and raptors are killed by turbine blades.

  • Vulnerable Sharman's Rock Wallaby habitat is destroyed.

  • Endangered Koala habitat is destroyed.

  • Endangered frog and fish habitats in wetlands, rivers and creeks may be contaminated by heavy industry fuel spills.

  • Extensive land clearing will impact the breeding cycle of wildlife and may drive vulnerable populations to extinction.

  • The cumulative impacts of the industrialisation of our Great Dividing Range will destroy our water cycle and impair the cooling effects of our wetlands, rivers and creeks.
