The Drysdale wind project is located in South West Victoria, approximately 15km north east of Warrnambool and 3km north of Purnim. Situated on approximately 800 hectares of farm land, the proposed project site is over 15km from the coast and consists of 13 proposed turbines. A Notice of Decision to grant a permit for the project was issued by Moyne Shire in August 2007, who are the relevant authority as the project size is under 30MW. Following an appeal in December 2007, the project was approved by VCAT in March 2008. A wind measurement mast was erected in January 2005 and wind data continues to be collected and assessed.

Comprehensive technical and environmental studies of the proposed project site have been conducted. Native Flora and Fauna Studies supported an application to the Commonwealth Government's Department of Environment and Heritage (DEH) under the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act in January, 2005. DEH decided in February 2005 that the Drysdale Wind Farm project was not a "controlled action" meaning that the proposed project was deemed not to have significant impact on matters of national environmental significance protected under the EPBC Act.

Wind Farm Developments(Australia) Ltd is a special purpose company formed to develop, project manage, commission and operate utility scale wind farm developments in New Zealand and Australia. A special purpose company which will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Wind Farm Developments (Australia) Ltd will control this site.
