EnergyAustralia is committed to involving the community at the early stage of planning for 'major' projects on our electricity network such the construction of new substations, installation of new underground or overhead power lines and refurbishment of existing facilities. This allows us to ensure projects balance local neighbourhood issues with the wider community’s increasing electricity needs and our promise to further increase the high levels of reliability for our customers.
Our program of works are often in developed suburban or regional communities. As a reflection of this, EnergyAustralia’s project development process places a high value on engaging local communities to achieve an outcome that assesses the social, environmental, technical, economic considerations to achieve the best possible outcome for everyone.
We thank the members of the community who have helped us to achieve positive outcomes on a number of projects, including the following:
