Ideal site for a coastal wind farm.
The Waipipi Wind Farm project is located approximately 6km southeast of Patea and 8km southwest of Waverley, in the South Taranaki District. The site had been used for sand mining, and all the dunes were removed, leaving a flat landscape.
Boffa Miskell’s involvement began in 2008 but, by the time new owners decided to proceed, the project needed to be reconsented. Our involvement in the second consenting has been ecological assessment, primarily bird strike and bird habitats.
