The federal opposition has vowed to cancel a proposed 4,000 square kilometre offshore wind farm project off the coast of Western Australia if it wins the next federal election.

The project, which would stretch from the southern coast near Mandurah south of Perth, to Dunsborough, could allow up to 700 wind towers to be built.
