Project Update: October Community Events

1 October 2023


In October, TCV is hosting a series of public meetings across the VNI West project area to share details of the draft corridor with landholders and communities, as well as answer any questions.

We are holding community meetings from Tuesday 10 October to Thursday 19 October in Charlton, St Arnaud, Boort, Stawell and Kerang.

These meetings will follow the release of the draft corridor for VNI West and are a chance for TCV to listen and learn from the communities that may have the VNI West on their land, as well as answer any questions.

At our public meetings in July, people were generous in sharing important details about their farms, the environment and what they value about their community.

This information has played an important role in shaping the draft corridor for VNI West and hopefully reducing the impact of this transmission line.

Each meeting will include a town hall presentation and panel Q&A from 5:00pm–6:30pm, followed by a drop-in information session where you can talk to individual staff from the VNI West project team from 6:30pm–7:30pm.

We will also be hosting a webinar on Thursday 19 October between 4:00pm–5:30pm.

Community Reference Group (CRG)

On Monday 11 September 2023, the VNI West Community Reference Group (CRG) gathered in Charlton for its first meeting. The CRG was organised by TCV to establish a regular forum to engage with community representatives and better understand community issues and concerns.

The meeting’s Chairperson, David Hale of RM Consulting Group, said “I sincerely appreciated eleven community representatives joining the first meeting to voice their concerns and ask TCV a range of pressing questions; from the route selection process, to insurance, to the future approvals mechanisms.”

“There are 15 community members currently registered as part of the CRG, out of a possible 20 positions. I’m pleased there is a broad range of views already represented amongst this group, but would like to see the full complement of 20 positions filled in the near future,” he said.
