%X This paper presents background information on wind farms, examines NSW and Commonwealth regulatory regimes, and summarises recent policy developments.

The current NSW Government's "NSW 2021" commits the State to achieving a 20 percent Renewable Energy Target (RET) by 2020. This target has been a major driver of wind farm development proposals across NSW. To assist in meeting this target, a Renewable Energy Action Plan will be released for public consultation.
