Supporting the Shed
October 2025
The Moulamein Men’s Shed is thrilled with the donation of a trailer by the Baldon Wind Farm team.
According to the group’s president, Noel Sutton, the local Men’s Shed relies heavily on membership fees, grants, and donations to remain operational.
He said the donation of working assets such as a fit-for-purpose trailer is an ideal way to support members of this not-for-profit organisation.
“We really appreciate this donation, and a trailer has been on our wish list for some time now.”
The trailer also contained a number of batteries which has contributed to the group’s battery collection program where the proceeds are used to fund the restocking of local rivers with fish.
Baldon Wind Farm Project Developer, Vineeta Lal said that initiatives of this kind are what creates strong community rapport.
“Our team know that our work is not just about building a wind farm, it’s about building relationships, supporting community and recognising the needs within a township.
“As our project develops, we look forward to developing more initiatives and benefits for the region,” she said.
The Moulamein Men’s Shed is located at 30-40 Tallow Street, Moulamein.

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.

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.

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.
