SEC Fire Detection Camera System

⁠⁠⁠The Delburn Wind Farm (DWF) comprises 33 wind turbines, 3 meteorological (met) masts and associated infrastructure located within the HVP Thorpdale pine plantation, approximately 8 km south of Morwell along the Strzelecki Highway. The site extends approximately 16 km north–south and 6 km east–west and is characterised by steep terrain consisting of ridgelines and deep valleys.

Planning permit requirements for the DWF mandate the implementation of comprehensive bushfire detection, protection, and mitigation measures. This includes cameras on a selection of wind turbines and/or met masts (anemometers) to support early detection of bushfires across the landscape, noting that;

             i. the number and locations of cameras will be determined in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications for camera capability and bushfire landscape assessment to ensure adequate coverage over the wind energy facility site and immediate surrounds;

            ii. the firefighting agencies require ongoing access to the cameras; and

          iii. procedures are to be developed that ensure early notification to fire agencies occurs when smoke or flames are detected;

As part of this requirement, the project seeks to procure and implement a fire detection camera system capable of early detection of bushfires within the plantation and surrounding landscape.

The proposed contract referenced as Part C - Contract in the RFP will be updated and provided in the coming week as it is confirmed.
