The Golden Plains Wind Farm is a game-changing renewable energy project spanning 16,739 hectares around Rokewood, Victoria. With 215 turbines, each capable of generating around 6MW, the site will produce over 4,000 GWh of clean energy every year - enough to power more than 750,000 homes and cut 4 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually.
Symal played a key role in this landmark project, delivering critical civil and structural packages across both stages to help bring sustainable energy into Australia’s power grid.
Stage 1 focused on establishing the groundwork for success across three key sites: the Cressy Terminal Station (CRTS), the Golden Plains Terminal Station (GPTS) and the Golden Plains Eastern Collector (GPEC).
Our team delivered extensive bulk earthworks, detailed civils and structural works to support the installation of major electrical assets, including:
350 bored piles at GPTS and 449 at CRTS
Reinforced concrete pours for transformer and building foundations
Electrical and drainage systems, including in-ground conduits and earth grids
Pavement works, fencing and fire safety systems
Water management infrastructure, including external swales, a dam and an oily water system that included a 95,000L underground SPEL Tank
Thanks to smart planning and great teamwork, the crew wrapped up Stage 1 civil earthworks two weeks ahead of schedule. Even with the tough winter conditions, they pushed what’s possible and maintained top-quality standards every step of the way.
Stage 2 saw the project expand its network with three new collector substations: the Golden Plains Central Collector (GPCC), Western Collector Collector (GPWC) and The Metering and Reactive Yard (GP2M2R) - delivered under the Electrical Balance of Plant Contract.
Our work spanned both bulk civils and detailed structural construction, covering:
Bored piling and reinforced concrete works
Conduit and earthing installation
Stormwater and drainage systems
Firewalls, fencing and access roads
Lime stabilisation, crushed rock placement and switchyard surfacing
The on-time completion of the bulk earthworks package set the stage for a smooth handover into the next phase, a great example of the team's disciplined project delivery.
Across both stages, Symal has helped shape the foundation of one of Australia’s most ambitious renewable energy projects.
This project showcases our capability in delivering complex, large-scale energy infrastructure and our commitment to building a cleaner, more sustainable energy future for Australia.
