New transmission infrastructure is critical to Victoria's energy future, and we know that it can have impacts on landholders and local communities.

Our approach to giving communities a genuine voice in transmission planning through early and meaningful engagement with landholders, local communities and Traditional Owners aims to minimise these impacts.

Where we are developing new transmission projects, support services will be put in place, including dedicated landholder engagement advisors as a first point of contact for landholders. Free and confidential support is available to anyone experiencing challenges living and working near our projects.
