Planning began around 2007, and the wind farm was finally fully commissioned in May 2020, following some setbacks due to grid issues after initial implementation in 2018.

Initial surveys were done in 2007, which identified the presence of the tawny rock dragon (Ctenophorus decressi) in the area planned for the wind farm.

[6] In 2012, the start-date for construction of the wind farm was pushed back to 2014, after AGL Energy decided to give priority to building two solar photovoltaic plants, which had received almost $200m in government funding.

On 3 June 2016 that application was granted, giving AGL the option to optimise and build the project within its Powering Australian Renewables Fund.
