Defence assessed a Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water proposal for an offshore wind farm in the Illawarra preliminary area in mid-2023. The Climate Change department requested an early meeting with Defence to discuss potential conflicts with military activities in the region, noting similarities to constraints identified in the Hunter area. Defence's Air Space Protection and Strategic Projects team circulated the proposal among relevant stakeholders for assessment but indicated it was still gathering feedback from all parties before proceeding with substantive discussions. Extensive redactions under public interest immunity provisions (s47E) obscure the identities of Defence personnel and specific details about defence activities in the Illawarra area that would be affected by the wind farm development.
