GeelongPort acknowledges the Victorian Government’s decision to defer the commencement of Australia’s first offshore wind auction.
This decision reinforces the critical need for infrastructure certainty.
Industry and government need confidence to invest and build and GeelongPort is ready to deliver.
We can be operational by early 2029 and are positioned to play a central role in a coordinated, multi-port solution that de-risks delivery and accelerates Victoria’s offshore wind rollout.
The momentum behind offshore wind is undeniable. With a highly skilled workforce, advanced manufacturing capability and leading tertiary institutions, Geelong is built for this opportunity and we’re ready to seize it.
Bringing this vision to life will require strategic collaboration across all levels of government, alongside industry and community partners.
As Minister D’Ambrosio reaffirmed today at the APAC Wind Energy Summit, offshore wind remains central to Victoria’s clean energy future.
We’re committed and ready to play our part.
