Australia’s most advanced offshore wind project Star of the South is charging ahead, recently achieving four major milestones and driving the next stages of development to unlock a new wave of clean energy.
In a first for Australia, Star of the South has lodged its Environmental Impact Statement for approval under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act. This is the primary environmental approval required for the project to proceed.
This comes off the back of executing a major land purchase where the project’s cables will come to shore, securing renewed Major Project Status with the Commonwealth Government, and formally entering into an Engagement Agreement with the Traditional Owners through the Gunaikurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation (GLaWAC).
