Cethana pumped hydro

Project update - October

Update 01 Oct, 2025
We’re progressing our plans for housing a future workforce for the Cethana pumped hydro project. We’ve found a site in Middlesex for a temporary Workforce Accommodation Facility.

The site has advantages of being less than 10-minute drive to site, suitable size and flat terrain, potential to minimise visual impact and easy access off Cradle Mountain Road.

Thanks to everyone in the community who has shared their feedback. We’re committed to planning the facility carefully so that any impacts to the community are minimised. We continue to welcome peoples comments on the project at any time.

We’re also doing technical assessments to better understand and manage potential impacts. The findings will be shared as part of the WAF Development Application submitted to Kentish Council. The community will have the opportunity to comment when it goes on public exhibition.
