Powering Local Progress: Genex Commits $500,000 to Millmerran Community Hub and Updates Bulli Creek Strategy

May 16, 2026 -- At Genex, we believe that building a sustainable future goes beyond renewable energy—it’s about fostering vibrant, thriving communities. We are thrilled to share two significant milestones that reflect our long-term commitment to the Queensland region and the evolution of our clean energy portfolio.

Investing in the Heart of Millmerran

We have officially announced an unconditional commitment of up to $500,000 for the redevelopment of the Domville Place community hub in Millmerran, Queensland. This central precinct is set to be transformed into a functional, green ‘civic place’ that will serve as a focal point for families, tourists, and local events.

Key highlights of the redevelopment include:

• Immediate Funding: The funds are available now and are not tied to any future project investment milestones, ensuring the community can move forward once fully approved.
• Enhanced Amenity: The project will feature new pathways, additional trees, a covered picnic area, and permanent stage structures for concerts and public gatherings.
• Strong Partnerships: We are working closely with the Millmerran Commerce & Progress Inc. (MCPI) and the Toowoomba Regional Council to finalise designs, with construction expected to commence in 2027.

Optimising Bulli Creek Clean Energy Park

In tandem with our community investment, Genex is refining the delivery of the Bulli Creek Clean Energy Park (Bulli Creek). To better align with evolving market conditions in Queensland and reduce the project’s risk profile, we have reconfigured the first stage of the development (BC1).

The updated BC1 project is now proposed as a hybrid facility featuring:

• 300MW of solar capacity.
• 425MW/1,700MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).

This multi-stage development, located 45km south-west of Millmerran, is eventually expected to reach a total capacity of 2.5GW. While the grid process has adjusted our construction target for BC1 to CY2028, we remain focused on delivering tangible economic opportunities and a lasting legacy for the local community.
