PROJECT HISTORY
| May 2024 | RES submitted a referral to the Department of Transport and Planning under the Victorian Environmental Effects Act (1978). |
| Sep 2024 | The Department of Transport determined that an Environmental Effect Statement is required for the development of the wind farm and powerline connection to the proposed VNI-West. |
| Mar 2025 | The project was included on the Federal Government's National Renewable Energy Priority List. The Priority List adopts a ‘faster to yes, faster to no’ approach. Identified projects will receive additional support and facilitation through regulatory and environmental processes. They will still have the same scrutiny applied as any other project and continue to be required to meet all statutory requirements. |
