With a feasibility licence secured for the Hunter offshore wind area, Novocastrian Wind will begin environmental studies and community consultation, while the newly established Hunter Wind Industry Committee works to ensure local jobs and industry benefits.
“We strongly support the responsible development of offshore wind. This is a real opportunity to create new jobs, support regional supply chains, and encourage local manufacturing while ensuring best-practice environmental protections. We’ll keep working to maximise these benefits for the Hunter.” — Hunter Jobs Alliance Coordinator Justin Page
