Two companies awaiting state approval to build Australia’s biggest wind farm donated money to the Victorian Labor Party last month, following years of court battles and lobbying the state to sign off on its $2 billion, 17,000-hectare project.

The latest plan to build the Golden Plains Wind Farm, which will be capable of powering 400,000 homes, includes a proposal to build 215 wind turbines, more than the 181 turbines recommended by the government when it first approved the project in December 2018.
It also hopes to increase the diameter of the turbines from 150 metres to 165 metres, with a total tower height of 230 metres.
