Local communities in the Central West now have access to a safer and better road, with the completion of the Twelve Mile Road upgrade near Wellington NSW.

Squadron Energy, Australia’s leading renewable energy company, have upgraded the road as part of early works for Uungula Wind Farm.

Squadron Energy Executive General Manager, Development and Delivery Tony Clark said this was a huge win for residents who live along the road, and the broader local community.

“This stretch of road has been the scene of a number of accidents. This upgrade is about more than benefitting the community with an easier drive, it’s providing a safer way for people in the region to travel or commute,” Mr Clark said.

“We appreciate that there has been some disruption for locals travelling on the road while the upgrades were underway, and appreciate the community's understanding and support.

“This upgrade will leave a legacy in the region long after our projects are up and running. We are proud to have been able to provide something that will leave the community better off in the long term.

“We’re now looking ahead, to commence works on the Goolma Road intersection in coming weeks.”

Dubbo Regional Council CEO Murray Wood said the project was a fantastic example of how real value and lasting benefits were created by aligning private investment with public needs.

“We are grateful to Squadron Energy for delivering this vital road upgrade ahead of schedule to allow the immediate benefits to our community, Mr Wood said.

“Squadron’s dedication and understanding within our community is also helping Council to set a benchmark for other renewable energy providers that are looking at investing in our region”

The Twelve Mile Road upgrade will improve conditions for road users and allow the delivery of equipment and components needed for project construction.

The completion of Twelve Mile Road has allowed us to formally commence Construction in the Wind Farm, which will create 260 jobs during construction. When complete, the 69-turbine project will generate enough electricity to power more than 220,000 homes.
