About The Project

Stony Creek Wind Farm is a proposed wind farm development located 11km west of Biggenden, in the North Burnett Region of Queensland. The project will have an expected capacity of up to 166MW and will consist of up to 23 wind turbines, with an anticipated maximum tip height of 260m. The project would generate enough clean electricity to power about 88,000 Australian homes per year and will avoid approximately 500,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year – equivalent to taking approximately 136,000 cars off the road. The project is proposed to connect into the existing transmission network, supplying clean energy to the National Electricity Market.

Project Status

Project Location Map

Located in farmland about three kilometres south-east of Didcot and 11 kilometres west of Biggenden, with the traditional custodians of the land being the Wakka Wakka people. Greenleaf Renewables acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of this land.

The site was chosen for its strong wind resource and proximity to the existing Powerlink transmission lines. Technical assessments, such as noise, visual impact and ecological studies remain on going, which will inform the development application later this year.
