AusNet cultural heritage roadside field surveys in Waubra extended to 19 June 2026

AusNet is extending the cultural heritage surveys on Glenbrae-School Road and Beaufort-Waubra Road in Waubra, which commenced on 25 May 2026. Due to inclement weather, the surveys need to be extended for a further fortnight, commencing 9 June 2026.

The purpose of the cultural heritage surveys is to identify if evidence of Aboriginal cultural heritage is present and to assess the extent, nature and significance of any material that is identified. The findings are used to assess the potential impacts to Aboriginal cultural heritage within and surrounding the proposed route.

AusNet will notify neighbouring landholders. If you have land along the proposed route and want to register your contact details, please contact us via 1300 (WRL WRL) 975 975 or info@westernrenewableslink.com.au.
