Petitions

Electricity infrastructure

Melina BATH (Eastern Victoria) presented a petition bearing 55 signatures:

The Petition of certain citizens of the State of Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Council the concerns about overhead transmission lines through Gippsland and their potential impact on farming land and operations, tourism, visual amenity, the mental health and wellbeing of landowners, bushfire safety and biodiversity.

The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Council call on the Government to ensure that all new transmission infrastructure for the Gippsland Renewable Energy Zone project use world class underground construction to connect to the existing infrastructure.
