Wind Prospect values transparent and community-focused engagement. We understand that local communities play an essential role in shaping projects, and it’s crucial to ensure people have a voice in the process. Our approach is to provide clear and timely information and meaningful opportunities for feedback.
We recognise the importance of building meaningful, lasting relationships with the communities where we develop our projects. We aim to be positive and responsible participants through respectful engagement and open dialogue.
We are working closely with landowners, neighbours, local councils and community groups to understand the region’s interests, concerns, and aspirations. Throughout the Project’s development, we will provide regular updates, hold community information sessions and offer various channels for feedback.
Community Sponsorship Program
The Willatook Wind Farm Project Sponsorship Fund is a well-established community fund, designed to help local community groups to deliver and enhance their services, programs, initiatives and facilities. The fund was established in 2019 and since then has provided over $100,000 to eligible organisations and community groups.
Applications are now open for the 2025 Sponsorship Fund.
Neighbour Benefit Program
The Neighbour Benefit Sharing Program will ensure the financial benefits of the project are shared with those closest to the project. Community feedback gathered during door knocks, information sessions, the Koroit shopfront and mail-outs has informed the program and resulted in a framework that will benefit neighbours directly.
This program will be implemented if the Project is approved and construction commences.
