Construction of the Devlins Bridge Wind Farm is expected to take about two years to complete. If the project is approved, construction is expected to commence in 2027.

Construction will involve the use of trucks, light vehicles and machinery moving in and around the project site.

The main site access is proposed to be from the Sturt Highway, onto Mundarra Road, and then onto the Devlins Bridge Wind Farm site. Mundarra Road is a dry-access only road, managed by Narrandera Shire Council, as part of project delivery, the road will be upgraded and then maintained for the life of the windfarm.

Some local roads will be used for delivery of materials and equipment to site, a comprehensive traffic management plan will be prepared as part of the project approvals to manage impacts to the community including school bus routes and other sensitive uses.

An estimated 350 direct and indirect jobs are expected to be created during construction with most of the construction workforce to be housed locally.

The workforce housing strategy is being considered in project planning and further information will be provided at later community engagement sessions. Major wind turbine components are likely to be delivered via Geelong in Victoria and then transported by road to the project site.

A transport route and a transport management plan will be determined as part of the traffic impact assessment process.
