LANDOWNERS have been promised engagement before Transmission Company Victoria releases its preferred VNI West renewable energy transmission line corridor.
The corridor had been slated for release in early September but VNI West program director Tony Hedley said on Tuesday: “We’re working hard to narrow the draft corridor to a preferred easement and preparing to make contact with landholders. These conversations will begin soon.
“Landholders are our absolute priority, and we will engage with them first prior to any broader communications,” he said
“We acknowledge that the delay in identifying and sharing the easement is creating stress in local communities. We expected to be able to land on the preferred easement and share this information earlier and apologise for the delay.”
