AusNet roadside surveys - July 2025

AusNet will be conducting vegetation assessments on public roadsides in the Pyrenees Shire and Northern Grampians Shire over several days during the week commencing 28 July 2025.

Locations within the Pyrenees Shire:

  • Lexton-Ararat Road, Mount Lonarch

Locations within the Northern Grampians Shire:

  • Ararat St-Arnaud Road, Crowlands
  • Vances Crossing Road, Joel Joel

These vegetation assessments will help inform our project team about the impacts of the proposed Western Renewables Link transmission line on ecological communities.    

This involves the team making a visual assessment from the roadside and will take up to 30 minutes per location to complete. Survey teams will not be entering private property as part of this work.

AusNet will send email and SMS notifications to neighbouring landholders where we have contact details. If you have land along the proposed route and want to register your contact details, please contact us via 1300 360 795 or info@westernrenewableslink.com.au.
