Over the last 21 months, almost 2,000 oversized, over-massed vehicles have made the journey from the Port of Brisbane to the MacIntyre Wind Farm, delivering the components required to construct Australia’s largest wind farm.

The teamwork and dedication required to see 1,944 trucks travelling over 1,000,000 km arriving onsite safely and without any major incidents has been significant.

Each day, the convoy typically left the Port of Brisbane at 10:00pm at night and arrived onsite at the MacIntyre Wind Farm in the morning by 6:00am. The main route taken included Ipswich Road, Toowoomba Bypass, Gore Highway,

Millmerran Inglewood Rd then back along the Cunningham Highway to site. Though there have been some occasions when roadworks have meant components came to site via Cunningham’s Gap and through Warwick.

The very first component to arrive at the MacIntyre Wind Farm was a hub which arrived on 9 November 2022, and the final component, a nacelle, arrived on the 9 August 2024.

To the communities along the route, we want to say a sincere THANK YOU!

Thank you for your patience and care on the roads which ensured not only the safe arrival of all our components, but also the safety of the many drivers involved.
