An additional two wind farm proposals will undergo mandatory public consultation, according to the Queensland state government.

The move comes just weeks after the Crisafulli Liberal National Party (LNP) government said it would put all new wind farm developments in the state on hold to ensure any incoming developments pass community consultation.
