Stockyard Hill Wind Farm project

The Stockyard Hill Wind Farm is located in Victoria’s central highlands, approximately 35km west of Ballarat. It has potential to harness one of Victoria’s best wind resources.

The project has passed a significant milestone with the approval of all three planning permits required. In response to issues raised, a number of turbines were removed from the original proposal. On 29 October 2010, the Victorian Minister for Planning granted approval for 157 turbines at the Stockyard Hill Wind Farm.

The granting of the Planning Permits is a major step forward for the Stockyard Hill Wind Farm project which will enable the necessary detailed plans to be prepared for Origin to reach a final investment decision.

Stockyard Hill Wind Farm is expected to deliver significant economic benefits to the local community including the creation of ongoing jobs, rates to the local government, rent to participating landowners and a community fund.
