Land Access – AusNet’s Bullying and Stand Over Tactics
AusNet have been acting in a disgraceful manner in forcing access to properties. AusNet and it’s agents are repeatedly engaging in bullying and stand over tactics with landowners as they seek to access land.
In talking with many landholders over the past few days and there is a continued theme of being bullied by AusNet, specifically by the land access managers.
AusNet are currently focused on aggressively seeking land access in Melton and Toolern Vale and are making their way into other areas.
Given the life changing and devastating impacts this project presents, a thoughtful and personalized approach with each landholders needs to be employed. AusNet’s poor, deceitful and aggressive treatment of landholders must cease.
Lets work together to send this dangerous and ill-conceived project back to the drawing board.
The thousands of people affected by this project deserve to be treated with respect on their own properties not bullied by AusNet representatives.
If your land is seeking to be access, please reach out to us at info@stoplaborstowers.com.au
