Star of the South CEO Charles Rattray said the declaration puts Gippsland on course to become the home of Australia’s offshore wind industry. “Offshore wind will play a critical role in Australia’s energy system going forward — it is pleasing to receive clarity from government on the boundaries for offshore wind projects, allowing us to take the next steps and continue investing in the region.”Mr Rattray said Major Project Status will help the project navigate government approvals processes spanning several departments and jurisdictions.
