Up to 300 wind turbines to be constructed on NSW southern coastline

The proposed area covers more than 1,400 kilometres and extends offshore of Wombarra in the north to Kiama in the south.

It will involve the construction of 300 industrial wind turbines.

Environmental activists who are against the farm say it is in the migration path of up to 40,000 whales.
