The Pines Wind Farm

Most wind farms in New South Wales are considered State Significant Developments (SSD).

SSD projects are assessed by the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure.

We expect that The Pines Wind Farm will be assessed under this process. More information can be found on the approvals process page.

Since June 2024 we have been meeting with neighbours to the investigation area and the broader community to understand concerns, discuss impacts and opportunities and to gather feedback.

We have had over 400 interactions with community members to date.

The feedback we have received has enabled us to prepare a draft layout for discussion.

This layout will enable us to show those closest to the project what it could look like from their property which will assist in understanding the impacts and opportunities from the project.

The initial community benefits will continue through the planning and approvals phase including the Electricity Bill Credit and local sponsorships.

The Pines Wind Farm proposal includes a 35-year Community Benefits Package, made up of:

- Community Benefits Fund

- Nearby Neighbour Program; and

- Contributions to local Council.

We welcome input into community programs and infrastructure you would like to see funded by The Pines Wind Farm
