Proposed route
What will the proposed route be around Waubra?
Following changes to the project in 2023, we have been working with landholders to the north of Waubra to identify and confirm a new proposed route in this area.
Rather than following the existing 220kV transmission line and connecting into the Waubra Terminal Station, as previously proposed, the new proposed route will run east from Forest Road to the north of Glendaruel (north of the previous proposed route).
We have worked with landholders, technical specialists and undertaken field surveys to try to balance the many complexities to confirm the new proposed route. From field surveys, investigations and landholder feedback, we have heard that the key considerations in this area include:
- Houses
- Agricultural land use
- The Waubra wind farm
- The naturual landscape, including Mount Beckworth, Mount Bolton and Mount Ercildoun
- Volcanic cones that are places of Aboriginal cultural heritage significance
- Native vegetation and habitat
These insights have informed the revised proposed route.
We have detailed this change in the Updated proposed route (north of Waubra) fact sheet, available on the Resources page.
