THE health impacts caused by wind farms should be the subject of another Senate inquiry.

At an anti-wind farm protest in South Australia yesterday, Victorian Senator John Madigan announced he would hold a series of forums across Australia that would form the basis of another inquiry.

A Senate inquiry into the social and economic impacts of rural wind farms began in 2010 and last year gave seven recommendations.

However, Senator Madigan, of the Democratic Labor Party, said the federal and state governments had ignored the recommendations from the last inquiry and called for another to address community concerns.

"None of these recommendations have been followed, and it is clear the Government is hoping the inquiry and its findings will simply be forgotten," Senator Madigan said.

"I am calling for a Senate inquiry into the health impacts caused by wind farms.

"If the Government is not prepared to take this necessary action on these recommendations or on the reports and submissions I will be tabling, I will fund an independent inquiry myself.

"The health effects of wind farms are too important to be ignored."

Among the recommendations from last year's Senate inquiry were calls to ensure wind farm complaints were dealt with via an independent arbitrator, that further recommendations be given to the development of policy on separation criteria between residences and wind farms, and calls "as a matter of priority" to research the epidemiological and laboratory studies of the possible effects of wind farms on human health.

Senator Madigan encouraged concerned residents to have their say on wind farms.

"I will find out from the communities themselves about the lack of movement from the Government on the recommendations from the Senate inquiry," he said.

"Any members of the public or interested groups can raise matters of interest or concern relating to these recommendations. I will also take submissions on issues arising from these concerns.

"Every submission made in the public forums will be tabled in the Senate."

Both federal and Victorian governments refused to provide comment.
