Green Wind Renewables is committed to engaging with residents within the Shire of Victoria Plains and the Shire of Chittering, and broader community for the development of the Wandoo Wind Farm project. Our approach to community engagement is both genuine and long lasting and includes the property owners directly hosting wind turbines and electricity transmission towers as well as the neighbouring community members. We are committed to keeping you updated on key milestones, developments and news related to the wind farm. Your understanding and support contribute significantly to the success of our endeavours, and we are dedicated to fostering positive engagement with the local community.
The Wandoo Wind Farm project aims to maximise the potential for local businesses, workers, and the broader community to participate in the development of the Wandoo Wind Farm project. Our intention is to create opportunities to support the local economy, create jobs, enhance skills, and build lasting relationships within the community.
To ensure we understand the community’s existing needs and vulnerabilities, a Socio-Economic Impact Assessment (SEIA) will be undertaken. The assessment will focus on the impact of the proposed Wandoo Wind Farm on the quality of life and livelihoods of people in the Shire of Victoria Plains and Shire of Chittering including potential jobs, social services, culture, amenity, and wellbeing. The SEIA will address how the potential negative impacts can be mitigated and how opportunities can be developed to support the Shire of Victoria Plains and Shire of Chittering.
Community input will also be sought on the creation and management of a Community Benefit Fund. The Wandoo Wind Farm project, through a Community Benefit Fund, aims to provide tangible benefits to the Shire of Victoria Plains and Shire of Chittering community. The Community Benefit Fund is planned to commence at the end of the development phase of the project, will operate for the life of the wind farm and offers financial support to local endeavours through educational programs and projects. Let’s collaborate to foster a prosperous and enduring community for everyone’s benefit.
