Rokewood could soon become a boom town, with 700 construction jobs up for grabs to install wind turbines following the federal government's approval for the Golden Plains Wind Farm.
According to the company, a further 70 ongoing jobs will be created when the project becomes operational.
On Thursday, federal Environment Minister Sussan Ley signed off on the enviornment protection and biodiversity conservation act approval, one of the final steps in the process.
Its estimated construction will begin in late 2020 or early 2021 - the project will now go through a secondary consent process, secure finances, and lodge grid connection applications with the energy market operator.
