The Watta Wella Project team has been busy conducting further studies to prepare the Planning Permit Application and Environment Report for submission to the relevant Government Departments. As a result of these studies, the following changes have been made to the project layout -  

  • The total number of turbines remains the same at 47 turbines; however, two turbines have been removed from the north of the project, off Watta Wella Road. An additional two turbines have been added to the South of the project, off Landsborough Road.  

  • The Solar Farm has been removed and is no longer proposed to be a part of the project.  

  • The Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) has moved further along Landsborough Road, away from the Joel Joel Reserve.  

The Planning Application and Environment Report are targeted to be submitted in early 2024. The Project team is busy wrapping up the final technical studies and reports to achieve this milestone. 

We will provide further updates as the project progresses. In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any queries.
