A federal MP wants the Queensland Government to stop a wind farm development in Far North Queensland.

South-Korean owned Epuron wants to build a wind farm next to world-heritage listed rainforest in Far North Queensland, located on two pastoral properties near Tully Falls National Park, part of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area.

It would require the clearing of over 1,200 hectares of land to make way for a set of 94, 200-metre-high turbines to form the Chalumbin Wind Farm.

Federal MP Bob Katter, who holds the nearby seat of Kennedy, says the development would threaten birds and several vulnerable species in the area.

“Every north Queenslander must answer these questions; ‘Do you want your natural wonderland turned into an industrial wasteland?’,” Mr Katter said.

“I am not against all wind farms. At Hughenden you can build one at 1,000 metres above sea level, where there are no trees or abundant bird life. 

“The wind there is also far more reliable. It's a great idea there.”

The Far North Queensland region is rapidly becoming a wind energy hub, with French company Neoen is already building the Kaban Green Power Hub in the area.

About 40 minutes away from that is the proposed Desailly Renewable Energy Park, owned by Irish-owned DP Energy, while the Thai-owned Mt Emerald Wind Farm has been operating nearby for several years.

Queensland Energy, Renewables and Hydrogen Minister Mick de Brenni says these and all other major projects require a “rigorous environmental assessment process”.

“It has to stack up - if it stacks up, it's allowed to proceed,” he said.

Locals have been protesting community consultation sessions and telling reporters of their frustrations.
