The GIC provides quality office accommodation for the following enterprises:

WestWind Energy

WestWind Energy is an Australian company dedicated to the development, construction and operation of wind farms in Australia. The enterprise benefits from the experience of the WestWind Group in Germany - an established and successful wind farm developer and operator. The WestWind Group is run by engineers with a desire to use their technical skills to improve the environment. They have realised that using the power of the wind to generate electricity can be applied on a reasonably large scale, providing it is financially viable. The resulting emissions-free electricity makes a significant contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. For example a single wind turbine of the 'megawatt class' (2.0 MW output) - the type WestWind prefers to install in Australia - produces approximately 7,000,000 kWh of clean electricity each year - equivalent to the electricial energy consumption of about 1,300 average Victorian households.

WestWind Energy has already identified and secured a number of potential wind far sites in Australia (sites with a good wind resource and not ecologically sensitive) that are ready for development now and into the future.
