Waddi Wind Farm – Planning and Approvals

The Waddi Wind Farm and Waddi Solar Farm have planning approvals in place. See below more information about the approval and supporting documentation for both Projects.

Waddi Wind Farm Planning Approval

The Waddi Wind Farm was first granted conditional planning approval by the Shire of Dandaragan on 11 January 2012.  

The Development Approval for the Project was amended on 26 June 2025 to allow for fewer, taller turbines.  

Waddi Wind Farm - EPBC Determination

On the 20th of October 2025, the Project was deemed a controlled action under by the Federal Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth) (EPBC Act).  

 

A controlled action means the Project is subject to a series of environmental controls through construction and operations. 

Waddi Solar Farm

The Waddi Solar Farm secured planning approval in 2016. The approval allows the Project to be constructed within the boundary of the Waddi Wind Farm.

The Waddi Solar Farm remains on hold while we continue to progress the wind farm.
