MacIntyre Wind Farm Precinct Project Community Survey |
The proposed MacIntyre Wind Farm Precinct is expected to have an export capacity of approximately 1,026 MW and up to 180 turbines.
The MacIntyre Wind Farm Precinct will be constructed on land predominately used for sheep farming. Current farming practices will continue during the construction and operations phases of the wind farm.
The site has been selected due to its exposure to consistent winds across this part of the country and provides a suitable resource for the development of a wind farm.

Location
Located in Queensland approximately 200 kms south-west of Brisbane, 50 km South-West of Warwick and 10 kms south of Karara the MacIntyre Wind Farm Precinct will be located within 36,000 hectares of leased land.
Construction and operation
ACCIONA Australia will build and operate the MacIntyre Wind Farm Precinct.
ACCIONA has reached an agreement with CleanCo, the Queensland Government’s newest renewable energy generator, for it to become the independent owner and operator of a 100MW wind farm within the MacIntyre complex. In addition, CleanCo will acquire the annual production of 400MW from ACCIONA's facilities for ten years through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).
Purpose
EMM Consulting Pty Ltd has been engaged by the ACCIONA to prepare a Social Impact Assessment for the Project. The survey identifies the potential social impacts and community concerns about the Project for further investigation during the development of the Social Impact Assessment. The results will inform the identification and assessment of impacts and benefits as well as strategies to minimize impacts and enhance benefits.
