Victoria’s biggest wind farm yet is moving forward — but locals are fighting back. Set to become the southern hemisphere’s largest, the project promises clean energy and grid stability as Australia phases out coal, yet sparks fierce backlash in the small town where it’s planned. Residents fear it will erase their community’s character, with farmers and groups warning their environmental and social concerns were ignored by state authorities.
