About the Project

The King Rocks Wind Farm will generate up to 105 megawatts of renewable energy from 17 turbines installed across the 3,000 hectare site. These turbines will be around 206 metres tall at the tip of the blade, comprising a 115 metre tower and 80 metres blade. The site was selected due to its proximity to Western Power’s electricity transmission lines, strong overnight wind and access to predominantly cleared, freehold agricultural land which is well suited to a wind farm development.

The project is expected to take approximately two years to construct. Up to 200 jobs will be created during construction of the wind farm and where practicable the construction partner, Vestas, will seek to engage locally.

Community Benefit Fund

We are committed to supporting the local community and are pleased to be launching the King Rocks Wind Farm Community Benefit Fund.

Our Community Benefit Fund provides grants of up to $50,000 to support projects and initiatives that directly address community needs and help to create thriving communities.

For more information on eligibility criteria and how to apply, please refer to our King Rocks Community Benefit Fund Guidelines.

 Applications open from 11 August 2026 to 21 September 2026.

Transportation of Wind Turbines

The components for 17 wind turbines and associated infrastructure will be transported about 450 km from the Port of Bunbury to King Rocks Wind Farm near Hyden from late May 2026 and will continue until approximately September. Measures will be put in place to minimise disruption to road traffic.

Weather and transport conditions permitting, deliveries will occur up to seven days per week (Monday to Sunday). Each delivery will start from the Port of Bunbury at sunrise and is scheduled to pass through Hyden in the early afternoon.

If you find yourself behind an oversized load, please do not pass until the pilot has given you an instruction to do so. The oversized load will be stopping every 20-25 km along the route to relieve any traffic behind them.

For any questions, please contact our community team on 0482 993 106 or by emailing community@synergy.net.au

We thank you for your patience during this time.
