The Hepburn Wind Project is a wind farm to be built by Hepburn Wind, a community co-operative, and supported by the Victorian Government.[1] The location of the project will be Leonards Hill, 10 km south of Daylesford, Victoria, north-west of Melbourne, Victoria. It will comprise two individual 2.05 MW wind turbines supplied by REpower System AG which are projected to produce enough energy for 2,300 households, almost as many houses are in the twin-towns of Daylesford and Hepburn Springs.[2][3] Hepburn Wind is the first project of the Hepburn Renewable Energy Association, now known as SHARE. The project will be the first community-owned wind farm in Australia. The initiative emerged because the community felt that the state and federal governments were not doing enough to address climate change.[2] As the project is under 30 MW, it was assessed under the local planning guidelines administered through the Hepburn Shire Council. The planning permit was issued by Hepburn Shire in February 2007.[4] The council received 325 submissions in support of the proposal and 18 objections.[5] The permit was subsequently challenged unsuccessfully at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) in June 2007.[6] Hepburn Wind Project formally launched their share offer on 25 July 2008, and as of 28 April 2010 over 1100 members had subscribed. The project has secured over $11.6 million in funding, and has placed an order for the two turbines.[7][8] Shares have been issued with priority to the local residents of Daylesford and Hepburn Springs. On 28 April 2010 the project signed a contract with REpower Systems for the turnkey construction of the wind farm. Construction is scheduled to begin in October 2010. The wind farm is expected to start producing power in the second quarter of 2011. Community-owned wind farms are common in Denmark and Germany, which have high levels of wind power use.[2] Community wind projects are also emerging in Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States.
