Feburary - March 2024
The Wilan Wind Farm project team understands how difficult it can be to get out and engage
with developers while juggling work, school drop-offs, and sporting commitments. With this in
mind, we will be launching an online consultation where community members can provide us
with valuable feedback at a time that works for you. We are keen to have a good cross-
section of local community members at the consultation to ensure we capture diverse
opinions. Places are limited to 60 across three key areas: Housing, Education, and
Childcare.
Participants will join four (4) online sessions where you will be asked to provide your views
on one of the key areas depending on your interests and experiences: Housing, Education,
or Childcare.
The consultation will be held online using a simple-to-use web platform, similar to social
media sites such as Facebook or Instagram. The platform will allow you to easily learn
information about one of the topics outlined above and provide a collaborative space to
share your thoughts and feedback. The information you share with us will help us develop
solutions that will ultimately benefit and add value to your community.
The great thing about this online consultation is that you can enter each session at
any time that suits you during a 6 day period – day or night!
Consultation sessions are planned for the following dates:
Your time and feedback are valuable to the Wilan Wind Farm project team and a standard
market-research gratuity is paid to eligible participants who complete all consultation
activities in these sessions.
If you would like to register your interest in participating in the upcoming online consultation
or would like any additional information, please contact the Wilan Wind Farm team by calling

Kilara Energy is a member of the Clean Energy Council and committed to its Best Practice Charter for Renewable Energy Projects, a commitment to engage respectfully with communities, be sensitive to environmental and cultural values, and make a positive contribution to the regions in which we operate.

First Nations groups across the region within which Wilan Wind Farm is located have a connection to Country that stretches back to the beginning of time. Kilara acknowledges this and pays respects to all Elders past, present and emerging.
Kilara is working in partnership with Nari Nari Tribal Council, traditional custodians of the lands known as ‘Gayini’ in the north of the project area, to develop and demonstrate a model of engagement for the renewables industry that generates real and lasting Cultural, social, environmental and economic benefits for First Nations people of the region.
‘Wilan’ is Nari Nari language meaning wind.
Kilara values the opportunity to connect with the local communities within the regions in which it is active.
Queries and feedback can be either submitted to the project team by email, by phone on 1800 161 320 or via the project feedback form.
As the formal planning process for the project gets underway, information sessions will be scheduled so that community members will have the opportunity to discuss the proposal with the project team.
