“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

Don’t allow this enormously impactful and dangerous project to proceed as planned – YOUR VOICE must be heard – don’t leave it to someone else.

 Join our vehicle rally through the streets of Daylesford and tell the State Government to Stop AusNet’s Towers.

 We can all bring about a change to this destructive, ill-conceived and dangerous project.

 If you don’t AusNet wins.

Saturday November 19^th

Meeting Point: 9:00am – Daylesford or Hepburn Springs. (This will be confirmed by Thursday)

Vehicle Rally will commence at 10:00am and will run for approximately 90 minutes.

The Moorabool and Central Highlands Power Alliance is taking our fight to Daylesford

Stop AusNet’s Towers supports renewable energy, supports action on climate change and supports the environment. A GREEN generation solution requires a GREEN transmission solution. Using out-dated, inferior and destructive overhead electricity transmission technology is NOT in Australia’s strategic national interest, nor cost-effective.  Above ground transmission infrastructure is not a future proof solution and AusNet, AEMO and the government are green washing this project.

Our voices need to be heard. We must be brave and speak our truth.

The incident was sparked on Saturday afternoon when severe storms swept through the state, and a fallen transmission tower near Tailem Bend caused both circuits on a 275kV transmission line to trip, separating the state’s grid at 4.40pm (AEST) from the rest of the National Electricity Market.

An issue the Alliance and community members have been raising with AusNet, AEMO and Government is the susceptibility of the proposed transmission towers to high winds. Last week in South Australia more high voltage transmission towers collapsed causing significant damage and outages. Transmission towers also collapsed back in 2020 in Cressy, Victoria, https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-02-01/wild-weather-victoria-continues-across-victoria/11920502

Currently numerous houses sit in very close proximity (some within a few meters) of the proposed dangerous 85m high towers, meaning a collapsed tower will crush homes and take lives.

AusNet’s indifference to this significant safety issue wreaks of their ignorance and arrogance. Ploughing forward with this highly unsafe and risky project will ultimately cause loss of life to our community.

Placing these structures close to dwellings is deplorable. Do those planning this project from their desks in Melbourne see the blood on their hands?

This project in its proposed form must not proceed.

The power of people is stronger than the power people – Let’s stand together to make a difference and Stop AusNet’s Towers

We want to tell you more about our ongoing Legal Fight and allow you to ask questions of us.

The Moorabool and Central Highlands Power Alliance has uncovered fundamental flaws in the Western Victorian Regulatory Investment Test for Transmission (West Vic RIT-T) which was undertaken by the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO).
