Introduction

The Mallee Wind Farm Project is a wind and battery energy storage development proposed in the Wentworth Shire and is being developed by Spark Renewables.

Who are Spark Renewables?
Spark Renewables is a developer, long-term owner, and operator of renewable energy generation assets. Spark Renewables is part of the Spark Infrastructure Group. Spark Renewables has an operational portfolio comprising the 100MW Bomen Solar Farm near Wagga Wagga which commenced operations in 2020 and a large portfolio of development assets including wind, solar, storage and green hydrogen projects across NSW and South Australia.

The Project: Mallee Wind Farm
The proposed location is in Mallee within a 20-minute drive north-east of Mildura (Victoria) and 15-minute drive from township of Buronga. The Project seeks to provide renewable energy and storage to improve energy reliability and security within the NSW South-West Renewable Energy Zone.

It is important for Spark Renewables to now better understand people’s views and feedback on the proposed Project to ensure that the Project is planned with the participation and input of the local community.

This community survey is part of a broader engagement program for the Mallee Wind Farm Project. The purpose of the survey is to provide an online and, if preferred, an anonymous process for community members to provide feedback on the Project and local issues.

The outcomes of the community survey will be used to inform the Engagement and Social Impact Assessment part of the Scoping Report.
