VNI West project director Sam Magee says TCV is  “maintaining open dialogue with landholders and listening to communities”
“In that open spirit, the format for this week’s information sessions differs to previous events,” he said.
“Following feedback from the community, there won’t be any formal presentations and local community members have a wider window to drop in at a time that best suits their schedule to discuss the project and ask questions.
“The informal sessions allow for one-on-one discussions with the project team including specialists in farming and agriculture, environment and planning processes as well as technical transmission matters.
“TCV has been meeting members of the local community and landholders on their farms, answering questions in local town halls and at the regional office in Kerang.
“This latest round of community drop-in sessions follows nearly 30 previous community information events, where we had an opportunity to hear from around 1200 community members,” Mr Magee said.
TCV’s April sessions follow recent roundtable meetings with local community groups and landholders in Tragowel and Murrabit, as well as project briefings with the Gannawarra, Northern Grampians, Loddon and Buloke Shire Councils.
