Community sessions for TransGrid Project Energy Connect high-voltage power line to Wagga

The meetings will be held at Booroorban Hall on September 18 from 10am-1pm; outside the Quinty Bakehouse on September 19 from 9am-12pm; and at The Rock Hall and Museum on September 20, from 10am-1pm.

TransGrid major projects executive manager Sean McGoldrick said the drop-in sessions would provide local communities, businesses and stakeholders the opportunity to comment on the proposed route of the transmission line and talk about the scope of the project.

"We are committed to an open and transparent communication, engagement and consultation process and these sessions help us gather local knowledge, which helps us plan the route, minimise project impacts and maximise benefits for the whole region," he said.

"We have also been speaking directly with landholders, local MPs and council representatives in the regional areas where the proposed transmission line will be built."

TransGrid's proposed Project EnergyConnect involves building a 900-kilometre long, 330-kilovolt transmission line from Wagga to Robertson in SA.

The Project EnergyConnect team will adhere to COVID-19 government health and hygiene guidelines, physical distancing rules and NSW government practices for public gatherings at the drop in sessions.

Feedback or comments on the project can be made online via TransGrid's website, which also has more information about the project.
