Western Victoria Transmission Network Project

The petition of

NO AUSNET TOWERS PUT THEM UNDERGROUND DOWN THE WESTERN HIGHWAY

Draws to the attention of the House

We are against the infrastructure of the proposed Ausnet towers going through the countryside.

The value of productive Farmland and keeping our foodbowl. The effects of infrastructure on our Underground Waterways. The contribution of undergrounding to Bushfire Safety. How it will affect our Tourism Industry. Liveability and land value for the people of the region and surrounds. The effect on natural habitats, biodiversity and wildlife safety. Mental Health and the effects on people from this project.

The Petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Assembly of Victoria

Totally support sustainability not stupidity, we suggest it going down the Western Highway, Underground because we want to have a future for our next generation of farmers and our children.

Make National Infrastructure projects ethical now!
