Squadron Energy’s general manager of development, Alastair Smith, said members of the team had met with host landowners and members of the local community since announcing the project in late June.
Mr Smith said feedback had helped with the revised layout.

“These conversations have helped the team modify the project design, resulting in an overall reduction in the project footprint and number of wind turbines proposed,” he said.
“We value the community’s feedback and have listened to their concerns, which has helped to shape the current design including reducing the number of turbines and ensuring a two-kilometre set-back.
“The project layout may continue to change as we gain further feedback and depending on technical and environmental assessments.”
A Squadron Energy information session at Tatyoon Hall on June 30 was met with community resistance, as a convoy of tractors, trucks and other vehicles carrying oppositional signage rolled in.
The opponents were particularly concerned about the effect the wind farm would have on the environment and the landscape.
There is also unrest by local landowners about the division the wind farm would create in the community.
Ballyrogan and Tatyoon Community Alliance hosted a meeting on Friday night to discuss neighbour agreements.

Squadron Energy, which is Australian-owned, also owns and operates the wind farm at Murra Warra.
