The company has been using a mobile, trailer-mounted weather station in the region, while it is assessing the wind conditions.
Fera Australia is proposing two wind farms with up to 25 turbines on each, connected with a high voltage transmission line.
Last week Fera confirmed its next step in the proposed wind farm is to erect a mast equivalent in height to the proposed turbines to get more accurate wind information.
Fera Australia director Andrew Lawson said there was a lot more work to do to advance the project and the company would hope to be having meetings in the region about every three months.
He said they were still in discussions with landholders and that would occupy their time for the next three to six months.
“The nature of this project is that it makes slow progress, so everyone has the opportunity to think about it,” Mr Lawson said.
He said the company has had people calling to indicate support for the project, and others who have raised concerns.
Mr Lawson said the company would think about organising a public meeting in the Rushworth area, although he noted there were some people from Rushworth at the recent Nanneella public meeting.
