Hepburn Community Wind Park

The Hepburn Community Wind Park is Australia's first community owned wind farm.

Hepburn Wind have installed two 2 megawatt wind turbines at Leonards Hill, south of Daylesford. The locally operated enterprise generates enough power to supply almost all of Daylesford's and Hepburn Shire's electricity needs – enough for 2300 homes. The power is sold to Snowy Hydro's electricity retailer Red Energy.

The driving motivation for the establishment of a wind park was climate change and the enormous benefits of renewable energy. The owners of Zen Pavilion are proud to be members of the Hepburn Wind cooperative.
