Update on Gullen Range Wind Farm
Construction of the Gullen Range Wind Farm is in the final stages
of completion with:
• 66 wind turbines installed
• 48 wind turbines currently in testing and commissioning phase
• Footings established for all 73 turbines
• Access tracks formed to each of the turbine sites and electrical
and control cables installed
• Substation constructed and commissioned
• Vegetation rehabilitation and reseeding progressing
Service Crew Move Into New Facilities
The nine man full time service crew at Gullen Range Wind Farm will be moving
into their new office and maintenance facilities. This facility will be the hub of
work on the wind farm and includes desks, lunch space, meeting rooms as well
as a large workshop for on-site repairs.
The team consists of members of the local community and increase the growing
skill base of wind technicians in the Southern Tablelands region.
Crookwell Township TV Repeater Station
Gullen Range Wind Farm have confirmed to Upper Lachlan Shire Council that a
contribution of the costs estimated by Council will be made to install a new
repeater station for TV in the township.
The full benefits have to be confirmed with testing but this should greatly improve
TV reception for those in or close to the town.
This money is separate from the Community Enhancement Fund which the wind
farm will contribute annually to the local community.
Road Repairs
Deliveries of all the turbine components are now complete. The project is now in
discussions with both Upper Lachlan Shire and Goulburn Mulwarre Councils, and
taking advice from road experts, with regards to the repairs of local roads in the
vicinity of the wind farm. This work will be programmed in as soon as practical.
In the meantime we are monitoring the road and carrying out any short term
repairs required.
Community Enhancement Program
GRWF Project Team are preparing to roll out the Community Enhancement
Program (CEP) and have already has some interest from members of the local
community. Under the project approval, the CEP commences following commissioning of the project, which is now scheduled for late 2014.
In the meantime, the Project Team is drafting documentation associated with
the two components of the CEP: the Clean Energy Program and Community
Fund. The approved Community Enhancement Program can be found on the
GRWF website.
GRWF apologise for any inconvenience the delay might have caused local
groups and residents. We will be sure to make the local community aware of the
official commencement of the Community Enhancement Program, as well as the
processes for administration of the funds.
Modification Process
The Project Team has been working hard to progress the application for
modification of the Project Approval (MP 07_0118 MOD 1) with the NSW
Department of Planning and Environment (DPE). The application was placed on
exhibition between 3rd April and 2nd May 2014. The application was lodged
following discussions with NSW DPE regarding the consistency of the final
turbine layout with the indicative turbine layout approved in the Project Approval.
Following discussions it was agreed to undertake a Section 75W modification
application process, in order to resolve the issue of consistency.
The team has drafted the Submission Report (SR) which provides a response to
the submissions received by NSW DPE during the exhibition of the application.
This follows the normal procedure for review of submissions and allows the
proponent to make comments on submissions. The Submissions Report also
includes updates on the construction status of GRWF and any other additional
information regarded as relevant to the determination of the Modification
Application. GRWF intend to submit the Submission Report very soon.
Following receipt of the Submissions Report, the DPE will finalise its own review
of the modification application, the submissions and the proponent’s comments
on the submissions. The findings will be compiled for the determining authority.
The application is likely to be referred to the Planning Assessment Commissions
(PAC) in June 2014 for determination.

The helicopter geophysical survey recently carried out in the
area was not connected to the wind farm.
However, the survey
operator

Gullen Range Wind
Farm to ensure flight
safety. The equipment
hung 60m below the

Finance and Administration News
Council’s The Operational Plan and What it Means for You, the Rate Payer...
The Operational Plan has been finalised after three community outreach meetings held in Crookwell, Gunning, and Big Hill during the
public exhibition period and will be adopted at the Ordinary Council
Meeting on 19 June, 2014.
The Operational Plan outlines the principal activities to be undertaken by Council
in 2014/2015 to address the Community Strategic Plan (CSP) Strategic
Objectives and allocates responsibility for each activity. The Operational Plan
details the program actions and performance indicators against each of the
Community Strategic Plan objectives.
The Operational Plan forms part of Council's Integrated Planning and Reporting
Framework and details Upper Lachlan Shire Councils principal activities and
budget for the coming twelve month period. The Operational Plan is a sub-set of
the Delivery Program which outlines a 4 year Delivery Program and aims to
implement the strategies in Council's 10 year forward program established in the
Community Strategic Plan.
All NSW Councils have been limited to a maximum 2.30% increase in total rates
income this year, this equates to an estimated increase in total, of only $143,000
across the whole Shire. The result of this minimal increase means that Council
has been restricted in its ability to meet core activity responsibilities and Council’s
ability to fund public submission requests from the community.
Council received 127 pre-plan public submissions to the Operational Plan in
December 2013. These submissions were reviewed by Council in developing this
Operational Plan. Council remains committed to engaging with our communities
by facilitating community outreach meetings each year in May in three towns
within the Shire.
The 2014/2015 Operational Plan provides a snapshot of the service delivery targets, specific tasks and major capital works. The 2014/2015 Revenue Policy
incorporates the following:• General (Ordinary) Rates will increase by 2.30%. There was a land revaluation
for the Shire which means the dollar value increases will vary within each individual rating category;
• Water Supply Access Charge and Water Availability Charge will
increase by 5% or $20 per Assessment;
• Water usage (consumption) charge will increase by 6.50%,
dollar value. Increases will vary for each individual service
dependent upon water consumption;
• Stormwater Annual Charges will have a zero increase; and
• Sewerage Best Practice Pricing Access Charges increase by 4.50% or $32 per
service;
• Domestic Waste Management Annual Charge will increase by 4.50% or $18 per
service;
• Commercial Waste Annual Charge will increase by 4.50%, or $21 per service;
• Rural Waste Annual Charge and Domestic Waste Management Availability
Charge will increase by 4.50%, or $7 per Assessment.
Copies of the Operational Plan are available for public inspection at the three
Council Offices and two Council Libraries. The Operational Plan is also available
to download from the Council’s website www.upperlachlan.nsw.gov.au and a link
is provided on Council’s FaceBook page.
Upper Lachlan Shire Council has projected a net consolidated operating budget
surplus (before capital grants and contributions) of $387,378 in 2014/2015. A net
budget cash flow surplus is projected in all individual funds.
Upper Lachlan Shire Council has prepared a comprehensive capital expenditure
works program for the Shire totalling $9.95 million in 2014/2015. The capital
works program outlines the key roads and bridges, water supply and sewerage
service project works and plant fleet replacements planned for the next twelve
months, along with a number of community facility projects desired by our community.
The provision of essential infrastructure, such as roads and bridges, remains our
biggest challenge with a relatively low population base, with a huge geographical
land area and large asset base to service. Below is the planed Captial Works
Expenditure Highlights for 2014/2015.

News from the Environment and Planning Department
Is your Weekender Illegal?
Upper Lachlan Shire offers a broad range of residential lifestyles, and is within an
easy drive of larger centres and cities including Sydney and Canberra. As a
result, the Shire is attractive to those seeking a permanent “tree change” or a
weekend recreational getaway.
Council and the Upper Lachlan community welcome lawful sustainable residential development in the Shire’s villages and rural areas that will not cause conflict
with surrounding land uses. However, Council officers frequently deal with
instances of land and buildings being illegally used for residential purposes, and
the localised conflicts that can result.
If land or a building is occupied or used for residential purposes – regardless of
how often and for how long – it may be considered to be used for the purpose of
a dwelling. This applies not only to typical houses, but also to sheds and other
structures that are being used, or have been adapted to be capable of use, for
occasional or permanent residential occupancy.
At the very least, prior development consent is required for development of land
(including erection of a building and use of the land) for the purpose of a dwelling.
In some cases, development of land for the purpose of a dwelling is prohibited by
Council’s Local Environmental Plan. It is an offence to develop land for the purpose of a dwelling where prior consent is required but has not been obtained, or
where such development is prohibited. Such illegal development may result in
Council taking legal action against those responsible.
Council officers are pleased to advise rate payers, residents and visitors to
ensure all necessary consents and approvals are in place before erecting or
Weed Control Needs To Be Priority
Owning a property in Upper Lachlan Shire requires a major investment and with
this investment comes the responsibility to manage noxious weeds to protect
both your own and your neighbour’s assets. This requirement to control noxious
weeds is governed by the Noxious Weeds Act 1993 which requires all landowners to control noxious weeds on their property, whether it is used for agricultural
operations or for recreational purposes.
It is therefore, stressed that to protect your investments in property and to be
environmentally responsible every landholder needs to maintain an effective
weed management program. Landowners that require assistance with weed
management programs or would like to discuss any weed control issue can contact Council’s Noxious Weeds Manager, Paul Brown on (02) 4840 2099.
Keep Treating Serrated Tussock During Winter
Winter is here again and there are some critical activities for this time of year to
help in the battle against serrated tussock! During the winter months the mature
tussock plants will be showing signs of bleaching due to frost. They will have a
distinctive golden yellow colour which will make them more visible. Controlling all
scattered infestations on your property NOW will allow you more time in the
spring to control the heavily infested areas.
Serrated Tussock
General control activities to be conducted over
winter.
• Develop a five year management plan to control
serrated tussock on your property.
• Survey your property and manually chip or spot
spray scatted plants which should be easy to find
with plants bleached by the frost.
• Avoid overgrazing to maximise growth of desirable
species.
• Contact your local Weed Officer to assist you if you are unable to identify serrated tussock or need held to develop a management plan.
Unusual Vegetation
The good rainfall that occurred over the autumn combined with the extremely dry
summer may have provided the opportunity for new weeds to enter our district
adapting a building or using land for permanent or occasional residential occupation. Enquiries regarding consents and approvals requirements, can be made to
Council’s Environment & Planning Department by post, e-mail, or on (02) 4830
1000.
Responsibilities of Pet Owners
To ensure the comfort, safety and health of the whole community, the Companion
Animals Act places certain responsibilities on all pet owners.
Here is a summary of the responsibilities of dog owners under the Act:
• If your dog is in a public place it must be under the effective control of a competent person by means of an adequate chain, cord or leash. The exceptions to
this are: dogs exhibited at a show or engaging in obedience or agility trials, working, tending or droving stock; or in an approved off-leash area;
• If your dog is being exercised in an approved off-leash area it must always be
under effective control of a competent person;
• You are not permitted to walk more than four dogs at any one time in an onleash or an off-leash area;
• Greyhounds must be muzzled at all times when in a public place, except if the
greyhound has successfully completed and approved greyhound re-training program and the greyhound wears an approved collar when in a public place;
• If your dog defecates in a public place it is an offence not to remove the faeces;
• Dogs are prohibited in children’s play areas, food preparation/consumption
areas, recreation areas, public bathing areas, school grounds, child care centres,
shopping areas and wildlife protection areas.
by way of movement of fodder and stock. It is extremely important that any new
weed incursions are located and identified as quickly as possible.
Council encourages all landowners to be aware of any unusual vegetation
growth on their land or within the Shire and report any area of unknown weeds
to Councils Weeds Officers for identification. Landholders within Upper Lachlan
Shire Council can obtained weed management and identification information by
contacting Councils Noxious Weeds Manager, Paul Brown, on 0248 402099.
New Local Weed Issues
Bathurst Burr
Bathurst Burr
Excellent growing conditions over recent months
have lead to a dramatic increase in the numbers of
Bathurst Burr plants throughout the Shire.
Landholders should note where these plants have
germinated and undertake control programs on
infestations.
Fireweed
Fireweed
Be aware and able to identify fireweed plants particularly if your property is located in the eastern areas
of the shire, contact Council’s weeds department if
you need assistance with identification. Control by
hand removal and bagging plants.
Coolatai grass
Coolatai Grass
Coolatai grass (Hyparrhenia hirta) is an invasive
drought, fire and herbicide tolerant tussock forming
perennial grass. It has become a major invasive
species in northern New South Wales and southern
Queensland, dominating pastures over a range of
soil types and conditions. It is also one of the few
perennial grasses capable of invading undisturbed
natural ecosystems and is a major threat to natural
biodiversity in stock routes, nature reserves and National Parks. Landholders
should obtain control advice from Council’s Weed Officers.
