Starfish Hill Windfarm
Highlights

- Witness breathtaking views of the Fleurieu Peninsula from the public observation area on Williams Road.
- Experience the power of nature as 23 turbines harness consistent winds to energise 18,000 households.
- Learn about the region's commitment to renewable energy at South Australia's first wind farm, a landmark attraction.
The Starfish Hill Wind Farm is located across two hills near the tip of the Fleurieu Peninsula at Cape Jervis. It was the first wind farm built in South Australia. The site was selected because the area has consistently high winds, is sparsely populated and was previously cleared for farming and grazing.
There are 23 wind turbines with 15 located on Salt Creek Hill and eight on Starfish Hill. Each of the turbines has three blades with a tower height of 68 metres and overall height of 100 metres from the ground to the blade tip.
The wind farm provides enough energy to meet the needs of about 18,000 households (around two per cent of the State’s residential customers) and adds one per cent to the available generation capacity in South Australia.
Access to the wind farm property is not permitted. However there is a public observation area close to one of the wind turbines on Williams Road, Cape Jervis.
