Boulder Creek Wind Farm

Client: Aula Energy and CS Energy

Location: Westwood, Queensland (40km southwest of Rockhampton)

Impact: DTI has been contracted by Aula Energy and CS Energy to construct the Boulder Creek Wind Farm in central Queensland. This project marks a significant step in Australia's transition toward renewable energy, with DTI playing a key role in its delivery.

The Boulder Creek Wind Farm will feature 38 GE Vernova turbines, each with a capacity of 6 megawatts, generating a total of 228 megawatts of clean energy. Once completed, it is expected to supply renewable electricity to around 85,000 homes annually, significantly contributing to Queensland’s goal of reaching 50% renewable energy generation by 2030. Construction commenced in November 2024 and during the project period, it will create up to 250 jobs, providing valuable employment opportunities and economic benefits for the local community.

DT Infrastructure’s scope of work includes constructing 41 kilometres of access tracks with gradients of up to 15% and managing 70,000 cubic meters of bulk earthworks. These works are critical to ensuring the safe and efficient delivery of the wind farm. The project follows an Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) phase, during which DTI and Aula Energy worked closely to conduct site investigations and optimize design solutions.

Once operational, the Boulder Creek Wind Farm will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 379,000 tonnes of CO_₂ annually, the equivalent of removing around 130,000 petrol-powered cars from the road. By supporting this project, DT Infrastructure continues to reinforce its commitment to delivering large-scale renewable energy projects that contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally responsible future.
