Qld: Cape York power station planned = 2

National Power has been a partner in the Lake Bonney wind farm in South Australia,
WA's Alinta wind farm and the Capital wind farm under construction in NSW.

Managing director Tim Flato said he looked forward to working with the traditional
owners and Queensland government to complete the project.

Gerhardt Pearson, chief executive of the Cape York development body, Balkanu, said
the project would create jobs and enable indigenous people to break away from welfare.

"It will say loud and clear that the Cooktown region is open for business," he said.

The wind park design will be conducted in consultation with the traditional owners,
including cultural heritage and environmental surveys.
