Jeremey Harper said one of the 85-metre towers (the height of a 25-storey building) is to be erected right next to Kerrins Bridge, an arched bluestone structure built in 1883, and as the nearby tree is directly under the proposed transmission lines, AusNet says its removal is required.
People can sign a petition at the Commercial Hotel in Kingston and make a submission to the WRL Environmental Effects Statement by August 22.
