Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act Referral Publication

17 July 2025

Following our communication last week, we wanted to inform you that the Federal Department of Climate Change, Energy, Environment and Water have now validated our Environmental referral for the proposed Tall Tree Wind Farm project.

You can view the documentation on the Department’s portal. We have also published a link to this on our community hub

There is a window of ten business days when the public can provide feedback on the EPBC project documentation. You can find out about the EPBC Act decision process here, including how to submit a comment.

We know the planning process can be complex – to help community members with the process you can view our helpful guide to planning in Victoria here.

We also wanted to take this opportunity to advise community that we have recently resubmitted to the Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) the referral and associated maps with minor updates. Lower Plains Road had been included in the study and impact areas for the impact assessments, however it was identified that this had not been included in the overall referral area. This has now been rectified. We anticipate this will be updated on the DTP portal shortly.

As always, please get in touch with us if you have any questions at all – either by email at talltree@acciona.com, by phone on 1800 283 550, or on our website https://community.acciona.com.au/talltree.
