According to:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_in_Australia

Yearly PV capacity increase is between 3 and 4 GW, so tripling PV as the simulation assumes starting from 27 GW means between 11 and 15 years to reach at the current rate.

I did not look for wind data (yet).

If you do the increase as a percentage, say 20% yearly growth in output, which probably better fits the history and other countries, then it's about half that time to triple.
