*PRE-CONSTRUCTION CONSULTATION ACTIVITIES CONFIRMED*
Subject to ongoing changes to Covid-19 restrictions, our regionally based team will be facilitating Covid-safe one-on-one appointments, supported by the wider Tilt team based in Victoria.
These sessions are intended to foster a two-way dialogue with the communities surrounding the Project and along the construction transport routes, so that they’re equipped with information on what to expect during construction and as we build up to busier periods.

The Rye Park Wind Farm is an approved development north of Yass and east of Boorowa, near the township of Rye Park.
Located on a long ridgeline running north-south at right angles to the prevailing wind direction, it provides a reliable source of wind. The site has been selected for its exposed windy ridges, grazing land and proximity to the national electricity grid.
The project area spans the Hilltops, Upper Lachlan and Yass Valley local government areas, located 11 km north-east of Yass on predominately stock farming land.
The wind farm will connect to the National Electricity Market via TransGrid’s 330kV Yass to Gullen Range Line via a new 330kV connection substation.
