Local Participation
Stromlo Energy is committed to prioritising the procurement of local goods and services, as well as the engagement, training and ongoing development of local workers wherever possible. The Devlins Bridge Wind Farm could create up to 350 jobs during construction and up to 35 ongoing jobs during operations.
Local Employment
We will actively support training initatives within the community, particularly those that create pathways to employment on our project construction sites. This includes opportunites designed to build transferable skills that enhance long-term job prospects.
Local Procurement
To maximise local participation, we are developing an online portal where businesses can register and respond to work packages. The portal will allow local businesses to register their interest in providing goods and services during both the construction and operations phases.
This will create a comprehensive register of local capabilities and helps ensure local industry shares in the benefits of the project.
The contractors engaged to construct the wind farm will be responsible for contracting local businesses and staff. The contractors are likely to be selected in 2027.
If you would like to be kept updated on the project and the portal please register your details below. If you have already registered, we will send you the details for the portal when it opens.
The types of jobs, skills and suppliers required to construct a wind farm are varied and include:
- Electrical trades
- Construction trades, earthworks and concrete
- Fencing and landscaping
- Civil and electrical engineering
- Accommodation providers
- Chefs, caterers and hospitality roles
- Fitters and mechanics
Local businesses in the surrounding towns will also benefit from the increased activity in theregion throughout construction.
