The project includes:

Up to 106 turbines (with 600 MW of renewable energy capacity)
A new on-site terminal station
Underground cabling and overhead transmission lines within the project boundary

Development status

The Hexham wind farm is being developed by Wind Prospect, an experienced wind farm developer in the Australian market, in partnership with AGL.

In April 2022, the Victorian Planning Minister decided that an Environmental Effects Statement (EES) was required for the Project as it was determined the Project has the potential for a range of significant and complex effects that require rigorous assessment. The EES Exhibition period commenced on January 27, 2026 and ended on March 11, 2026.

Wind Prospect will continue to lead the EES process and remain the primary point of contact, providing updates as the Project progresses.

Community and stakeholder feedback

AGL will begin to actively engage with the local community, State and Federal government, Moyne Shire Council and Traditional Custodians in the region about the proposed project early in 2026.

AGL will work closely with the community and key stakeholders throughout the project to collect feedback and address any questions.
