Option for Easement process

What if the project does not gain approvals?

This is a complex project that requires completion of the Environment Effects Statement process, which will inform decisions about required State and Commonwealth approvals, before construction. We are currently finalising the Environment Effects Statement for submission to the Victorian Government this year.

If you enter an Option for Easement with us now and the Western Renewables Link project changes or does not achieve the required approvals, an easement may no longer be required on your property. If this occurs, the Option for Easement will either terminate in accordance with the Option for Easement, or expire at the end of the specified time period. You will retain any payments already made to you.
