[RGP] Strategy 1.1 Facilitate the development of energy facilities where they take advantage of existing infrastructure and provide benefits to the regional community. [RGP] Strategy 1.2 Facilitate renewable energy development in appropriate locations. [19.01-1p2] Strategy 1.3 Recognise that economically viable wind energy facilities require locations with consistently strong winds over the year. [19.01-1p6] Objective 2 To support local electricity generation. [New ] Strategy 2.1 Support cogeneration and trigeneration plants. [New ] Strategy 2.2 Support renewal and sustainable energy generation. [New ] Objective 3 To support ecomomic growth. [RGP] Strategy 3.1 Support the stragic upgrade of power supplies in rural areas to promote economic growth. [RGP] Strategy 3.2 Support co-location of allied and non-sensitive industries on or close to waste and energy precincts. [5.8.1.3] Objective 4 To ensure a safe, cost effective electricity distribution network that minimises its impact on urban landscapes. [New] Strategy 4.1 Protect energy infrastructure against competing and incompatible uses. Strategy 4.2 Provide appropriate infrastructure to meet community demand for energy services. [19.01-1p4] Strategy 4.3 Provide land for future energy infrastructure. [19.01-1p4] Strategy 4.4 Support the cost-effective development of the high voltage transmission and distribution network and substations. [New] Strategy 4.5 Minimise the adverse impact of electricity easements on neighbourhoods and provide for the positive use of easements where appropriate.
