first regular deliveries of large turbine components for the Wambo Wind Farm project, south-west of Kingaroy, are expected to start next month.<\/p>\n<p>Test runs are scheduled to take place overnight on September 30-October 1 and October 1-2.<\/p>\n<p>If these go smoothly, regular deliveries are expected to begin soon afterwards from the Port of Brisbane.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for the project developers, Stanwell and Cubico, said the transport vehicles were expected to travel through the Jimbour, Jandowae and Diamondy areas between 5:00am and 6:30am.<\/p>\n<p>Nearby roads have been undergoing upgrades to handle the loads.<\/p>\n<p>The Wambo Wind Farm is being built in two stages, and will eventually comprise 83 wind turbines and generate more than 500MW of power.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>More information is available on the Wambo Wind Farm\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wambowindfarm.com.au\/#about-the-project\" target=\"_blank\"
