Wind project faces referral due to long distance objectors, citing impacts of a wind farm that doesn't exist

Public meeting called for wind project due to submissions from mostly long distance objectors, including a group citing impacts of a wind farm that does not exist.

Summary: During the planning process, projects in NSW are automatically referred to an independent planning review if there are 50 “unique” submissions that object to the project, even if the objections are gibberish from the other side of the country. Anti-renewables Facebook groups keep weaponizing this by lodging cut-and-paste conspiracy-theory-filled objections to delay wind/solar/battery projects.
