Waddi Wind Farm – Community Benefits and Employment

The Project is committed to provide the community with accurate and accessible information so you can understand what is happening and provide feedback.  

The Waddi Wind Farm Community Reference Group aims to connect with community as the Project progresses into the construction phase.  

The Community Reference Group will meet four times a year to discuss project updates, address concerns and provide feedback. Meetings will be chaired by an independent facilitator.

A Benefit Sharing Plan is being developed for the Waddi Wind Farm. The plan is focused on: 

• Ensuring the local community directly benefits from the Project 
• Creating a legacy beyond the immediate benefits of the Project

The Benefit Sharing Plan is being developed in consultation with the Yued Aboriginal Corporation, Shire of Dandaragan, involved landowners and with input from the wider community. 

The Waddi Wind farm would generate approximately 421 GWh per annum. That’s enough clean energy to power 68,000 homes. Every year this would avoid 290,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions. That’s the same as taking 120,000 cars off the road. 

The Waddi Solar Farm would build on this generating enough renewable energy to power a further 17,000 homes. Every year this would avoid 71,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions. 

The Project would employ around 150 people during construction and up to five people during operation.  

Typical goods and services likely to be sourced locally during construction and operations include: 

• Accommodation 
• Engineering 
• Freight services 
• Construction materials and equipment 
• Local labour 
• Technical contractors 
• Earth works services 
• Fencing 
• Landscaping

Procurement is not done directly by Tilt Renewables however we regularly share the Goods & Services Register with our relevant project delivery partners. 

Expressions of interest for employment with the Tilt Renewables corporate office (not on site) need to be made via the Careers page. 

As the long term owner and operator of the wind farm and solar plant, Tilt Renewables want to be active part of the community over the life of the project. We welcome your feedback and are happy to assist with any questions you may have about the Projects.
