Perhaps the "National Wind Farm Commission" doesn't appear in Google 
because it does not exist. On their website the Department of 
Environment refer to the "Office of the National Wind Farm 
Commissioner". I could find no mention of a "National Wind Farm 
Commission" on any Australian Government website.

A Google search for "National Wind Farm Commission" brought up as the 
first hit "Appointment of National Wind Farm Commissioner": 
http://www.environment.gov.au/minister/hunt/2015/mr20151009.html

This includes "For current information on the National Wind Farm 
Commissioner, see www.environment.gov.au/nwfc" which that redirects to 
"National Wind Farm Commissioner" 
http://www.environment.gov.au/climate-change/national-wind-farm-commissioner

If the Department of Environment want web searches to find the "National 
Wind Farm Commission", then they just need to use that term on a web 
page. Environment has competent information professionals who I am sure 
know this, as does DTO. It may be that someone in government forgot to 
do the paperwork to create the Commission and DTO, quite reasonably, 
will not set up a web site for an organization which does not exist.
