A worker has died on a central Queensland wind farm after an incident on Wednesday, halting operations as investigation are launched.
Police were called about 11.35am to the Clarke Creek Wind Farm site in Mount Gardiner, about 120km north-west of Rockhampton, to find a 27-year-old had died at the worksite.
Officers deemed the death non-suspicious, but assisted Workplace Health and Safety Queensland in launching an investigation into the incident.
Renewable energy giant Squadron Energy – which owns the 87-turbine wind farm – issued a statement on Wednesday evening thanking first responders and offering support for staff and the worker’s family.
