A community in the Australian state of Victoria has launched a legal challenge against the construction of a wind farm in the Strezlecki Ranges south-east of Melbourne.

Osmi Australia lodged applications to construct a 33-turbine wind farm near Delburn, which was approved by Richard Wynne, Victoria’s planning minister, in March.
