The Pines Wind Farm

The Pines Wind Farm has released a draft wind turbine layout for discussion with neighbouring landowners and the community. The layout shows approximately 250 wind turbines within the permit area of the State's softwood pine plantations.

The draft layout is expected to evolve as the design progresses and will be influenced by discussions with the community and neighbours to the project and detailed studies such as transport routes, fire risk management, grid, visual impacts, noise, ecology, heritage and constructability.

planning and approvals phase

Progressing Approvals

The planning and approvals phase is expected to take three to five years to complete.
The first step in this process is the preparation of a project scoping report for submission to the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure.
We will commence this activity in 2025.

How is the project assessed?

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.

What has been done so far?

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.
