Burndoo Station Goat Depot
An off-grid system was required to replace the existing diesel generating plant, to offset diesel costs.
Objectives & Site Considerations
Rick and Joanne Gates, along with their son Ross, run one of the most successful commercial goat depots in western New South Wales, primarily dealing with rangeland goats.
Their operation handles approximately 150,000 goats annually, sourced mostly from local landholders in the Ivanhoe and Wilcannia areas of far west NSW. On average, the goats remain on the property for only 4 to 10 days before being moved to various markets.
The family is based at Burndoo Station (25,000 hectares) and also manages several other properties, including Slamanon Station (33,000 hectares), Woolahra (8,000 hectares in Ivanhoe), and Keelambara Station (24,000 hectares in Tilpa).
