Construction is now underway on the $740 million Boulder Creek Wind Farm, a major renewable energy project located
40 kilometres southwest of Rockhampton. Jointly owned by Aula Energy and CS Energy, the project will deliver 228
megawatts (MW) of clean, renewable electricity — enough to power approximately 85,000 homes annually.
The Boulder Creek Wind Farm forms a key part of Queensland’s renewable energy strategy, supporting the state’s
ambitious targets of 50% renewable energy generation by 2030 and net zero emissions by 2050.
Project Highlights
The wind farm will comprise 38 GE Vernova turbines, equipped with cutting-edge technology for maximum energy yield
and efficiency. DT Infrastructure, part of the global Gamuda Berhad group, has been awarded a $243 million contract
to deliver the full civil and electrical construction scope, including turbine foundations, 41 kilometres of access tracks,
and internal cabling.
Powerlink Queensland will deliver the high-voltage grid connection via upgrades to the existing Stanwell to Calvale
275kV transmission line.
At peak construction, the project will create approximately 250 jobs, boosting the local economy and generating
significant opportunities for regional suppliers and contractors.
Strong Partnerships Driving Delivery
The Boulder Creek Wind Farm is a product of strong collaboration. Aula Energy brings extensive renewable energy
development expertise, while CS Energy ensures operational and market readiness. DT Infrastructure’s proven track
record in large-scale infrastructure projects provides delivery assurance, and Powerlink Queensland’s leadership in
transmission ensures seamless integration into the grid.
Chad Hymas, CEO of Aula Energy, commented:
“We are proud to work alongside leading industry partners to deliver Boulder Creek. It represents our commitment to
Queensland’s clean energy future and to building enduring benefits for the local communities.”
Commitment to Community and Country
Boulder Creek Wind Farm acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land, the Darumbal and Gaangalu Nations
People, and is committed to ongoing respectful engagement, cultural heritage protection, and local Indigenous
participation opportunities.
The project also upholds high environmental standards, with comprehensive management plans ensuring biodiversity
preservation, land rehabilitation, and minimisation of construction impacts.
Looking Ahead
Construction will continue throughout 2025 and 2026, with full operations expected by 2027. The Boulder Creek Wind
Farm will help diversify Queensland’s energy mix, stabilise electricity prices, and deliver long-term environmental,
social, and economic benefits.
As Queensland accelerates towards a low-carbon future, Boulder Creek Wind Farm stands as a landmark project —
delivering clean energy, empowering local communities, and shaping a sustainable tomorrow.
