THIS DOCUMENT 

The Proceedings from the Conference on Wind Energy and Wildlife Impacts contains papers presented and summaries of discussions from the Conference held in Melbourne on 9 October 2012. The papers in the Proceedings are presented under two session topics. The first topic was “Investigations and assessment of new wind farms” and the second was “Monitoring, mitigation and offsets”. The Proceedings then summarise the panel discussions at the end of the conference. Note that some of the material presented at the conference has been or will be published elsewhere and therefore is not published in these proceedings.
