he Waubra wind farm – which is run by Spanish outfit, Acciona – has
drawn something like 1,400 noise complaints and has driven 11 farming
families from homes that neighbour its operation, since it started
operating over 6 years ago in July 2009 (see our post here).
The owners of those homes had been complaining bitterly about
low-frequency noise and infrasound from the moment the turbines
commenced operation.
Terrified of litigation, Acciona’s lawyers quietly went to each of
the families complaining; purchased their properties and stitched them
up with bullet-proof gag clauses – that prevent them from ever talking
about the “sale” (see our post here).
So terrified were they that word of Acciona’s out of court
settlements would get out, they even pursued one of the victims, Trish
Godfrey all the way to Adelaide in South Australia in an effort to
prevent her from giving evidence in a wind farm planning case about her
acoustic torment – (see this article and our posts here and here)."
