Half of windfarm complaints about turbines yet to be built: commissioner

Andrew Dyer says 50% of complaints relate to seven future facilities and include noise, economic and health fears

Approximately half of all complaints made to Australia's windfarm commissioner relate to turbines that have not yet been built, the man tasked with the job has said.

Andrew Dyer was appointed as the country's first windfarm commissioner in October and started in the role the following month. Since November he has received complaints relating to 12 wind farms, affecting 42 residents.
