The Australian Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) has given final approval for the Bowmans Creek Wind Farm under the EPBC Act (EPBC 2020/8631).

The project was approved by the NSW Independent Planning Commission (IPC) in February.

Bowmans Creek Wind Farm will be located approximately 10 km east of Muswellbrook in the NSW Hunter-Central Coast Renewable Energy Zone (REZ), and involves 54 wind turbines with a generation capacity of 347 megawatts (MW), enough to power ~145,000 households per year.

The approval decision notice with final conditions is available from the Bowmans Creek Wind Farm project page in the EPBC Act Public Portal.
