Thackeray v. Shire of South Gippsland Pays/Territoire Australie Date Mai 1, 2001 Source UNEP, InforMEA Nom du tribunal Civil and Administrative Tribunal Siège de la cour Victoria Numéro de référence VCAT 922 Résumé Local residents challenged the grant of permission to develop a 12-turbine windfarm on various grounds, ranging from visual flicker to the interaction of residual electromagnetic waves with radio and microwaves. The Tribunal considered evidence about each, including expert testimony on several issues, before determining that the grant of permission should be upheld. As the Tribunal explained, its decision was the result of a balancing of interests and considerations, including the difficulty of locating physical circumstances that are both well-suited to the emplacement of turbines and accessible to a branch of the electricity grid.Key environmental legal questions:Permission to develop windfarm despite adverse local impacts Texte intégral Thackeray-1.pdf Site web climatecasechart.com
