POWELINK Community information drop-in session

Powerlink is proposing to build a new highvoltage transmission line between the existing Bouldercombe and Larcom Creek substations.
The new transmission line will reinforce electricity supply to the Gladstone region, and increase network capacity and reliability to support:
* the electrification of local industry
* additional energy that will be produced by new renewable energy generators
* eventual retirement of ageing coal-fired generators.

Powerlink has been undertaking early desktop and field studies (such as ecological studies) to inform the project’s feasibility and approval pathway. The findings of these initial investigations have been summarised in two corridor reports, which are now available for public comment.

Powerlink team members will be hosting the following project community information drop-in sessions. Powerlink invite you to stop by at any time during these sessions to provide feedback or ask questions about the project.
