DT Infrastructure (DTI) is excited to announce it is partnering with Aula Energy and Queensland’s CS Energy to construct the Boulder Creek Wind Farm, following on from its early contractor involvement for the central Queensland site.
The wind farm, which is equally owned by Aula Energy and CS Energy, will comprise 38 turbines and have a generating capacity of 228 MW. It will power approximately 85,000* homes once it commences operations in 2027 – bolstering Queensland’s efforts to reach its electricity generation target of 70% overall supply from renewables by 2032.
The construction stage is a continuation of the partnership between DTI and Aula Energy that began with the signing of an ECI contract in March 2024.
It is the first major renewable project to be delivered under the Aula Energy and DTI brands, with both businesses offering extensive experience delivering renewable projects nationally while part of Macquarie and Downer EDI respectively.
DTI is a growing player in the Australian renewable energy sector, bringing to bear the international clean energy experience of the Gamuda Group and combining it with local delivery expertise.
The project also adds to CS Energy’s growing renewable energy portfolio and follows the recent announcement of its 100 per cent acquisition of the Lotus Creek Wind Farm near St Lawrence, also in Queensland.

Commenting on a partnership, DTI Interim Chief Executive Officer, Murray McArdle, said: “Australia is undergoing a transformative shift as it looks to reshape its energy landscape. We are excited to be part of that change and to work with Aula and CS Energy to be a ‘safe pair of hands’ for the delivery of this exciting project that will increase the supply of renewable energy to the region and is another step in Australia’s journey towards a net-zero future.”
“DTI has worked with Aula throughout the ECI phase of the Boulder Creek Wind Farm, which has resulted in an in-depth understanding of the project, location and needs of the community. We look forward to drawing on that early contractor knowledge to optimise procurement, construction and delivery practices that will ensure the success of Stage 1 of the project.”
CEO of Aula Energy, Chad Hymas, said “We are pleased to be partnering with DTI on this flagship project for our business. Since engaging on the early works phase of the wind farm we have been extremely impressed with the collaborative, can do approach that DTI has shown in getting the project to this important milestone. Both our teams share a passion for helping Australia accelerate the transition to net zero. We also believe that DTI as a partner align well with our company values of Care, Collaborate and Perform.”
