Plan from landholder counts.
Resource plans should be built from parcel‑level counts and ownership structure, not from MW estimates or rule‑of‑thumb ratios. Ask how the count was derived.
Wind · Developer side
Wind is AA's highest‑volume sector.
Corridor‑scale landholder engagement, sized to the technology — not a rule of thumb. We plan from landholder counts, not estimates.
Why AA in this sector
Wind sites carry the highest landholder engagement burden of any technology type.
Wind footprints are wider than any other generation technology. A single wind farm of meaningful scale routinely involves dozens of landholders across thousands of hectares — and that is before transmission tail and access tracks are accounted for. Resource plans built from MW figures alone fail.
Our wind team has engaged more than 800 landholders across wind projects in NSW, QLD and Victoria. That includes cold‑start outreach, hosting landholders on similar operating projects, and managing the multi‑year cadence between option execution and commercial close.
We size programmes from parcel counts and ownership structure, not from rule‑of‑thumb estimates. The first deliverable of a wind engagement is a defensible landholder count and a non‑negotiables list against your turbine technology — not a project plan written in advance.

Key considerations
What a developer procurement team should test a wind land access consultant against.
Five lines of inquiry we have seen separate specialist consultants from generalists when wind capacity is the deliverable.
Non‑negotiables aligned to technology.
Turbine height, blade clearance, micro‑siting tolerance and acoustic setbacks vary by OEM. Non‑negotiables should be set against the chosen turbine, not a generic envelope.
Cadence after option execution.
Option agreements are the start, not the finish. A failed handover between option and commercial close is the single most common cause of late‑stage attrition.
Wave 2 logic, not Plan B.
If a shortlisted site fails, the methodology should trigger replacement screening — not a renegotiation. Shortlist size must hold without compromising site quality.
Split valuation methodology.
Host, neighbour and corridor landholders sit on different commercial frames. A single rate sheet across all three is the fastest way to lose the difficult ones.
Field team
Who runs your wind programme.
Landholder Engagement Officers anchored in the country your project sits in — and active well beyond it. Specific districts, specific communities. Project experience across every mainland state. We'll be specific about which officer would run your programme on the first call.
