March 17th, 2024Power alliance opposing high voltage towers

The Regional Victorian Power Alliance, representing western and north western Victorian communities, has issued a resolute declaration opposing the proposed construction of high voltage transmission towers in regional Victoria.

In an open letter to Premier Jacinta Allan, the Alliance underscored the unacceptable risks posed to regional communities and the environment by the proposed infrastructure.

The Alliance’s concerns come in the wake of the collapse of six transmission towers at Anakie on February 13.

It says this incident, coupled with past failures, highlights the grave dangers associated with outdated infrastructure and underscores the urgent need for action.
