Farmers claim they found out via social media that new powerlines could be built across their properties, as a regional Victorian council supports the state government's latest plan.
"It's time a lot of this infrastructure is replaced," Mr Griffiths said.
The latest preferred route leaves new landholders facing the possibility of powerlines being constructed on their properties, with some telling the ABC they found out via social media or journalists calling them.and slammed AEMO and the government for poor consultation. "There are opportunities [on the northern section] for the line to cross in a different area and avoid some of the cultural and environmentally significant areas that we would have otherwise been passing through," she said.The area of interest will be narrowed into a corridor by July and then to an indicative route by the end of the year," Ms Falcon said.
"Critical water sports are over there, there's vineyards, dairy infrastructure, there's caravan parks, there's a lot of houses, it really is a high growth area," he saidMr Griffiths said farmers west of Kerang had operated with large powerlines for more than 60 years. Victoria Energy Policy Centre director Bruce Mountain stood by his assessment that going ahead with the project would be a "monumental mistake".
