The Kiamal Solar Farm near Ouyen in north‑west Victoria is one of the state’s largest renewable energy projects, featuring more than 715,000 solar panels and delivering up to 350 MW of clean energy as part of Australia’s transition toward a sustainable future.
Developed by TotalEnergies Renewables Australia, the project includes advanced infrastructure such as a synchronous condenser to support grid stability and is located on over 500 hectares of land acknowledged as the Country of the First Peoples of the Millewa‑Mallee.
ACHM completed the Cultural Heritage Management Plan (CHMP) for the Kiamal Solar Farm, providing the critical heritage assessments, fieldwork, and Traditional Owner collaboration required for the project’s approval and construction. Our work ensured compliance with Victorian Aboriginal cultural heritage legislation and supported culturally informed decision‑making throughout development.
Through respectful engagement and thorough heritage assessment, ACHM helped enable one of Victoria’s most significant renewable energy initiatives to proceed responsibly and sustainably.
