Qld announces $766m wind farm project

Australia's largest publicly-owned wind farm will be built in Queensland, with Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk pouring $766 million into the project as she seeks to reboot the state's energy policy.

The project in the South Burnett, northwest of Brisbane, will include up to 150 turbines and potentially generate enough electricity to power 230,000 homes.

"It will also create around 200 jobs during construction and 15 ongoing jobs when operational," Ms Palaszczuk said.
