The Hepburn Shire in Victoria is set to have Australia's first co-operative wind farm.

VCAT has upheld a February 2007 decision of the Hepburn Shire Council to grant a planning permit for the Hepburn Community Wind Park.

A Hepburn Community Wind Park Co-operative Ltd has been formed. The co-operative will eventually own the wind farm.  Future Energy Pty Ltd will be working with the co-operative to guide the project through to completion.
