Acknowledgement of Country

In planning for Australia's clean energy future, RES acknowledges its rich history. We Acknowledge the Wakka Wakka and Auburn Hawkwood Peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the Country on which the Tarong West Wind Farm Project is proposed. We recognise their ongoing connection to land and waterways, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present. 

The Project

RES is proposing to develop the Tarong West Wind Farm, located within the South Burnett Council area, approximately 30km west of Kingaroy and 8km north-west of Kumbia.

Following preliminary assessments, RES has spent much of 2022 reaching out to the local community to understand the potential impacts and opportunities that may flow from a renewable energy project in the region.

If developed, the Tarong West Wind Farm will deliver significant local benefits within the proposed Southern Queensland Renewable Energy Zone (Southern QREZ), through local employment opportunities and benefit sharing programs with the local community.
