KABAN GREEN POWER HUB Notice of delivery of Wind Turbines
The Kaban Green Power Hub is a 157MW renewable energy project near Ravenshoe in the Atherton Tablelands, 80 kilometres south-west of Cairns.
Delivery Information of the Kaban Green Power Hub wind turbines
Delivery of the Kaban Green Power Hub wind turbines is due to commence in early February 2022 and continue for a period of approximately 6 months. Weather and transport conditions permitting, deliveries will occur up to 6 days per week (Monday to Saturday). Each delivery will commence from Cairns at 3:45am (AEST) and is scheduled to pass through Ravenshoe between 8:00am and 11:30am (AEST).
The wind turbines will be transported by truck from Cairns, south along the Bruce Highway, turning at the Palmerston Highway to Millaa Millaa, the Kennedy Highway, through Ravenshoe to Tumoulin, then on to site.
The Kaban Green Power Hub has an approved Transport Management Plan to deliver the wind turbines to the site. All component deliveries will be under escort by Queensland Police traffic pilots.
Further to the recent direction by Queensland police, if you see a pilot or police escort vehicle approach you, you should slow down immediately and safely pull over to the side of the road to allow the deliveries to pass.
Oversized loads will always use UHF Channel 40. If you find yourself behind an oversized load, please do not pass until a pilot or police escort has given you an instruction to do so.
Motorists should not try to overtake the loads without this indication from the pilot or escort. The transport delivery sizes will be up to 91 metres in length, 5.0 metres in width, and 77 tonnes.
The Kaban Green Power Hub, along with project delivery partners, will continue to prioritise the safety of all communities, personnel, and motorists for the duration of these deliveries. We ask for your patience and cooperation with the escort teams during this time.
