WELCOME TO WAMBO WIND FARM.

Wambo Wind Farm is a significant renewable energy project located in Queensland’s Western Downs region, approximately 15 km northeast of Jandowae, 74 km north of Dalby and 77 km west of Kingaroy. The site is strategically located and was selected for its strong and consistent wind resources, as well as its excellent access to existing electricity transmission infrastructure—making it an ideal location for large-scale clean energy generation.

The project is a 50:50 joint venture between Cubico Sustainable Investments—one of the world’s leading renewable energy investors—and Stanwell Corporation Limited, Queensland’s leading government-owned energy generator.

Wambo Wind Farm is being constructed over two stages. Once fully operational, it will comprise 83 wind turbines with a total capacity of over 500 megawatts (MW), enough to power more than 312,000 homes.

Our location

Wambo Wind Farm is hosted near the township of Jandowae in the Western Downs Regional Council area of Queensland and close to neighbouring towns of Jimbour, Cooranga North and Bell.

Western Downs is dubbed the "Energy Capital of Queensland", powering two million Australian homes and businesses every day. The region hosts a diverse energy generation industry including wind, solar, gas, hydrogen, coal and large scale battery storage and is leading the way in renewable energy, with almost a quarter of Australia’s renewables development occuring in the region as of 2025. The Western Downs Regional Council is working alongside industry, landowners and communities to ensure projects like the Wambo Wind Farm delvier a positive contribution to the region.

Just outside Jandowae (a rural town with a population of just over 1000 people) is where you will find the Wambo Wind Farm. Jandowae was first settled in 1862 and referred to as ‘Jindowie’, an Aboriginal word meaning ‘waterhole’. Jandowae is more readily known as home to the second-longest man-made structure in the world – The Wild Dog Barrier Fence (Dingo Fence) – stretching 5,614km and passing through Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia.
