A helicopter will fly over the transmission lines between Ballarat and Stawell. The helicopter will be flying as low as 40 metres AGL (above ground level).
The inspections are not part of the Western Renewables Link project, however we wish to inform landholders within our proposed project area of these upcoming flyovers.
You may see our helicopter assessing these transmission lines. If you have registered for SMS or email updates with the Western Renewables Link project, we will let you know of any updates or changes.
If you would like to register for future Western Renewables Link SMS notifications, please contact us via 1800 WRL WRL (975 975) or info@westernrenewableslink.com.au.
AusNet own and maintain the transmission towers and lines that supply electricity across Victoria. Under the Electrical Safety Act 1998, we must inspect the transmission lines, easements, access tracks and gates to:
- make sure they’re in safe working condition
- check the condition of towers and powerlines
- find and address defects or problems
