Kojonup BESS - Mint - Development Application
Proposed Kojonup Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)
Available for inspection:
Mint Renewables Pty Ltd (the Proponent) is committed to engaging respectfully with the communities in which they
plan and operate their projects, to be sensitive to environmental and cultural values and to make a positive contribution
to the regions in which they will operate.
The Proponent aims to be long-term members of the communities they invest in. There is a lot of uncertainty in
development, and the Proponent believe in maintaining transparency with stakeholders as they navigate those
uncertainties.
The Proponent is proposing to develop a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) located 3 km north west of Kojonup
next to the existing Kojonup Substation in the Great Southern region of Western Australia.
The Kojonup BESS is strategically located near the Kojonup Substation, located off Tunney Road, to enhance grid
reliability in the Great Southern Region while reducing the need for additional transmission infrastructure. The site offers
suitable cleared land and proximity to the Albany Highway, minimising environmental and construction impacts.
The Project is in the Development phase, and the Proponent have completed a comprehensive planning and
environmental assessment process to ensure the Project’s impacts are minimised and managed during construction
and operations. Table 1 below provides a summary of key Project attributes.
The application is available for inspection at https://www.kojonup.wa.gov.au or can be viewed at the Shire office during office hours up to and including 27th of July 2026
