Tour community wind at Hepburn Energy Park

Tour community wind at Hepburn Energy Park Hepburn Energy is a member co-operative that owns the wind park at Leonards Hill near Daylesford. You can book a guided Hepburn wind farm tour to stand beside the turbines and hear how community investors keep profits local. What you can do near Daylesford - Register interest for a one-hour community energy park tour between October and April (Hepburn Energy tours) - Meet the guide at the park entrance on Ballan-Daylesford Road and walk or drive to the turbine hardstand with closed-toe shoes - Ask how member shares fund clean power and future solar and battery plans on the same site - Combine small groups to share the base tour fee when the organiser allows combined bookings How to join Tours need registration at least about a month ahead, then payment through the co-operative shop after you receive a booking reference. The organiser lists a base fee for up to ten visitors and a per-person charge for larger groups on the tour information sheet. Why it matters in Daylesford Rural towns can own the infrastructure that powers them. Visitors see friendly machines on a working farm, not a distant utility billboard. Good to know - When do tours run? Hepburn Energy runs tours from October to April; winter dates are not offered on the tour page. - What does a tour cost? The tour sheet lists a base rate for up to ten people plus an extra charge per additional visitor; confirm your quote when you register. - What should I wear? Closed-toe shoes are required on the operating wind farm; bring sun or rain protection because weather changes quickly on the hill.
