December 8, 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

Powerlink has scheduled eight more community information sessions over the next fortnight to canvas opinions on the proposed transmission line routes for the Borumba Pumped Hydro Project.<\/p>\n

This follows community requests for extra opportunities to provide feedback on the various options.<\/p>\n

Powerlink is exploring ways to link the Borumba Dam project to existing substations at Tarong Power Station and Woolooga.<\/p>\n

Option maps which have been distributed online show the various routes for the high-voltage wires pass through both cultivated land and remnant vegetation (see downloads, below)<\/p>\n

The proposed southern routes to the Tarong substation pass Linville, Moore, Taromeo, Teelah, Benarkin, Blackbutt, Yarraman and Nanango.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A proposed extension to the Halys substation is close to Maidenwell.<\/p>\n

One of the proposed northern routes passes close to Widgee, while another passes near Amamoor and Glastonbury.<\/p>\n

Recent community information sessions were held at Jimna (November 28),\u00a0Yarraman (November 29) and\u00a0Nanango (November 30).<\/p>\n

Sessions were also held last week at Woolooga, Kilkivan, Imbil and Gympie, and in August at Nanango and Yarraman.<\/p>\n

The next Powerlink information sessions will be held at:<\/strong><\/p>\n
