Community Story

Meeting Scheduled with the Energy Minister - Will Nightmare Powerlines Go Ahead?

After months of protest, the people resisting the Queensland government's plan to run a 275,000 volt electricity line on high pylons from Gympie to Eumundi have got themselves a meeting with Energy Minister, Geoff Wilson. Wilson had made it a condition that they first see the managers of Powerlink, the government company that would build the line, and if issues were left unresolved at that meeting, he'd see the community representatives himself. Powerlink failed to give the answers sought and the meeting with Wilson is set for 26 August.
