Bungaban Wind represents a major step towards securing large-scale, low-cost wind energy to support Australia’s clean energy transition. The project received Queensland State Development approval in March 2025, with federal approvals currently progressing.
Having secured the largest renewable energy Power Purchase Agreement within Australia’s National Energy Market, the project is set to play a critical role in decarbonising the nation’s critical minerals and processing industries.
Bungaban Wind is the most advanced project within Windlab’s South Queensland Renewable Generation Hub. The Hub includes individually permitted wind and solar projects, further amplifying our efforts within the region.
Bungaban Solar is the next stage of our South Queensland Renewable Generation Hub and marks our newest large-scale development. This proposed 500 MW solar farm with integrated battery storage will be co-developed alongside our Bungaban Wind project.
Although the two projects are co-located, they’re progressing through separate planning and environmental approval processes. For the solar project, we’ve already submitted our Development Application, and in the coming months, we’ll be referring it to the Federal Government under the EPBC Act to confirm the project’s assessment pathway.
Wind and solar are a natural pairing, particularly in this region, where the wind typically picks up just as the sun begins to set. With approvals on track, construction for Bungaban Solar is targeted to begin in 2028.
An essential early-transition opportunity, Gawara Baya combines state-of-the-art wind technology with deep community engagement to deliver clean energy while uplifting local biodiversity.
Gawara Baya means ‘Wind Song’ in Gugu Badhun language. This name was gifted by Gugu Badhun peoples, and its logo was designed by Gugu Badhun Traditional Owner, Alison Hoolihan.
Gawara Baya received Federal Government approval in June 2024 and State Development approval in August 2023.
Junction Rivers is a large-scale wind energy and storage project positioned within the State’s South West Renewable Energy Zone.
Coexisting with agricultural activities on its host properties, the project will deliver significant regional benefits, including bespoke, multi-armed funding program designed to align specifically with local need.
The project was named in consultation with community and the logo designed by a local First Nations artist, recognising the community’s intrinsic connection to the waterways.
Kennedy Energy Park is a world-first hybrid renewable energy project collocating wind, solar, and battery storage behind a single connection point.
Completed in 2021 and achieving commercial operations in mid-2024, Kennedy provides reliable energy even in variable weather conditions, harnessing the region’s complimentary wind and solar resources.
Kennedy represents the future of renewable energy projects, where hybrid systems improve grid reliability and energy resilience. Its innovative design offers a blueprint for integrating renewables with existing energy infrastructure and has helped unlock the region to significant development opportunity.
