| Work Detail |
The Australian government has declared an area off northern Tasmania’s Bass Strait as suitable for offshore wind development, with the potential to generate 20 GW of offshore wind energy.
In response to feedback from local leaders, industry, fishers, unions, First Nations people, and community groups, the declared Bass Strait zone is smaller and further from shore.
It now sits at least 30 kilometres off Tasmania’s north coast and spans 7,100 square kilometres – reduced by about 30 per cent of the original proposal. It also includes a carve-out for a shipping lane. |
