Mount Gellibrand Wind Farm will be located 25 kilometres east of Colac and 17km west of Winchelsea in the Colac Otway Shire on Victoria’s Western Plains.

The wind farm will be constructed around the southern and western sides of Mt Gellibrand itself. These open and partly elevated plains make the site an ideal location for a wind farm.

The Mt Gellibrand Wind Farm will bring significant economic activity and benefits to the Colac region. The $258m project will generate significant economic activity in the region, with over 100 construction jobs and approximately 10 ongoing full time equivalent positions on site.
