I think you are taking the wrong approach. You should be pushing for a similar buffer from coal mines as from wind farms. Also I am sure you mean residents of Daylesford not residence.

Gerard, thanks for the proofreading! The typo should be fixed now.
You may be interested to know that the Victorian Farmers’ Federation seem to have taken your stance regarding coal (and CSG).
We still think that the threats from coal and CSG are a few orders of magnitude higher than wind turbines, but the state government do appear to have been wedged by their own logic…
