TransGrid’s Tomago to Stroud Transmission Line Project (Project) will deliver reliable infrastructure to help meet peak electricity demand across the lower Mid North Coast.
Essential Energy, Ausgrid and TransGrid forecasts show peak demand in the region is expected to increase by as much as 35 per cent during the next decade.
The proposed Project will involve the:
- Construction of new transmission lines between TransGrid’s Tomago Substation and an existing power line to the north of Woodberry; and
- Rebuild of an existing power line between Tarro and Stroud Road.
An extensive Review of Environmental Factors (REF) Report on the Project has been completed and placed on public exhibition until 2 December 2011.
The document includes detailed cultural heritage, flora and fauna, electric and magnetic fields, and construction noise and vibration studies. It also details a range of mitigation measures, which will be adopted to help minimise the Project’s environmental footprint.
A copy of the REF may be downloaded here and CD versions of the report are available on request. Hard copies are also available for viewing at TransGrid’s Northern Region Centre on Wirra Crescent, Waratah West, and all local councils within the Project area.
Submissions to the Project may be made during the public exhibition period. To make a submission, download a submission form below and submit via:
