Community Consultation
As Australia transitions its energy generation to renewable sources, Vestas is committed to working respectfully alongside the communities in which it operates.
Mid West Wind Farm intends to develop, build and operate the proposed wind farm, which means we want to be part of the community now and for the next generation. Vestas has been engaging with the Yamatji Southern Regional Corporation, local councils, industry and landholders within the project footprint.
Our goal is to build long-term relationships between the project team, the local community and all project stakeholders. This happens through effective two-way engagement which allows us to understand local insights and work together to address any concerns.
We provide regular updates, which you can subscribe to using the form at the end of this page. You can contact us at any time to discuss the project. We also provide notice of upcoming community information sessions on this website, which will occur as the project progresses through development.
We welcome visits to our project shopfront at 1 Wiebbe Hayes Lane, in Geraldton open by appointment.
Finally, you can use the link below to complete a feedback form.
Your feedback will help us understand local sentiment and assist in planning the project. We’d love to hear from you!
