About
We are concerned potato farmers, growers, tourism business operators, lifestyle property owners and landowners who object to AusNet’s Western Renewables Link above ground transmissions lines and terminal station would destroy precious farmland, homes and the landscape from Ascot to Springbank and surrounds. We represent farmers, life stylers, tourism operators, townspeople and everyone who lives in the region. We are fighting for food security against inappropriate transmission infrastructure that is outdated.
We advocate for the Western Victorian transmission line to go underground down the middle of the Western Highway, the land and easement is already there!!!👍

On one occasion an ambulance was called when a landholder suffered a medical emergency due to the stressful nature of the situation.
