The agreement grants GKB an equity shareholding in the project, deepening WWP’s commitment to driving meaningful economic and social benefits for the Gnaala Karla Booja Aboriginal Corporation community, said the company.

“The partnership with GKB is a demonstration of our commitment to delivering economic and social benefits to Indigenous communities and other Western Australians,” said David Thomas, WWP Chairman.

The Catalpa offshore wind farm would be built 40 kilometres off the Western Australian coast.

The developer plans to deliver the offshore wind project as the third stage of its Kwinana Wind Zone development, the first two stages being a 50 MW and a 200 MW onshore wind farm.

In 2024, the Australian government declared an area off the Bunbury region for offshore wind development after it was reduced in size and pushed further off the coast.
