Baldon Wind Farm celebrates education pathways in Hay
April 2026
Having supporting the Hay Country University Centre (CUC) application about three years ago, Goldwind Australia, on behalf of the Baldon Wind Farm, was delighted to have taken part in the opening of the Hay CUC on Wednesday 15 April 2026.
In the heart of the SW REZ, the Hay CUC and education hub is fundamental to locals being able to secure their qualifications locally, and take part in the construction and operations of the large renewable projects coming up in the region.
The opening event brought together community leaders, education partners and government representatives, with a welcome provided by Hay Shire Council and remarks from the Minister for Skills, TAFE and Tertiary Education, Steve Whan MP. The Hay Centre is uniquely co‑located with TAFE NSW, creating clear and connected pathways from school to skills and on to university study.
Baldon Wind Farm’s Project Development Manager Vineeta Lal was in attendance. Vineeta said that she was pleased to attend the opening and to see the strong community support for an initiative focused on long‑term local opportunities.
“Strengthening access to education is a critical part of building resilient regional communities and supporting future workforce development in the region,” she said.
Supporting Big Imagination: Little Bug Workshop Brings Moulamein Kids Together
April 2026
On Tuesday 14 April 2026, the Moulamein Art Gallery came alive with colour, creativity and laughter as local children took part in a hands‑on “bug” art workshop, proudly supported through a sponsorship by the Baldon Wind Farm.
Hosted at the Moulamein Art Gallery, a volunteer‑run community space known for its inclusive programs and regular workshops for local residents, the session brought together ten enthusiastic children eager to learn, create and have fun.
The workshop was delivered by Dandy Lion Studio, a Swan Hill–based creative studio recognised for its travelling art programs and its focus on encouraging creativity and self‑expression for children of all ages. Led by experienced tutor Shelley Mitchell, a retired primary art teacher, the children were guided through the process of designing and building their own imaginative “bugs,” each artwork reflecting the personality and ideas of its young creator.
The sponsorship contribution helped to make the workshop possible, covering materials and facilitation costs and ensuring the activity remained accessible for local families.
The support reflected the Baldon Wind Farm’s broader commitment to meaningful, place‑based community engagement, where access to creative opportunities can make a lasting difference.
As Gallery representative Jill Reed noted, the workshop was not just about art, but about giving local children space to explore, express themselves and feel supported by the wider community.
Moments like these – where small investments unlock big smiles, confidence and creativity – are at the heart of Baldon Wind Farm’s approach to community involvement.
Special delivery for captains
September 2025
The Baldon Wind Farm project team recently caught up with two school captains, Peter Arthur and Darcy Bennett, at the Moulamein Public School. They were meeting with the project’s community stakeholder manager, Jacqui Mott, who helped the project coordinate a donation to the school, repurposing two high-quality worktables no longer needed in the Goldwind Melbourne office.
The tables were surplus after renovations, and instead of potentially heading for hard rubbish disposal, the project team ensured this equipment went directly to a community cause. With the school community of 61 students, offering education from Kinder to Year Six, the school has told us they’ve put them to good use in their busy regional learning environment.

Expertise shines at photo comp
October 2025
Donations are not always material, sometimes they can be all about lending a hand, supporting a local cause and providing expertise in times of community need.
Such was the case for the Moulamein Art Gallery, when the Baldon Wind Farm’s community stakeholder manager, Jacqui Mott, was nominated as guest judge for the gallery’s 2025 Amateur Photography Competition.
Jacqui, an experienced photojournalist, was very impressed with the excellent quality of the competition’s entries, with nine awards presented, across categories that included Open and Under-14 sections, with visual themes depicting, wind and shapes in nature.
According to Jill Reid the gallery’s president, this arty destination acts as a local hub for artists, residents and visitors alike in the heart of Moulamein.
“The art gallery offers refreshments with art, sculpture and crafts showcased, it’s a popular place to meet, to share ideas, catch up and share time together.
“Throughout the year we offer opportunities for people to participate in competitions, and for Jacqui to be our guest judge this year, well it was a real highlight.”
The gallery is open Thursday to Friday,10am to 4pm each week. It is located at 13 Morago Street, Moulamein.

On the ball with sponsorships
July 2025
Our Baldon Wind Farm project team continues to be ‘on the ball’ with its support for community, continuing to sponsor the Moulamein Football Netball Club, locally known as the ‘Mighty Swans’.
The club is a social hub, a vital part of the local economy, where it provides a community meeting place with a safe family atmosphere.
At Goldwind, community engagement is central to our commitment to delivering projects, that are not only environmentally responsible, but also socially sustainable and meaningfully connected to the regions in which we operate.
