Mudgee divided over renewable energy zone

The top tourism destination of Mudgee in New South Wales is being divided by the country’s first renewable energy zone. Concern is growing that the town will be swamped by an influx of workers. The town is set to be home to around 10,000 workers and their families. Reportedly, 25 projects are being developed in the state’s first renewable energy zone. The zone covers an area of 25,000 square kilometres in NSW’s Central West.
