Is your property affected by Transgrid compulsory acquisitions?
The Victoria to NSW Interconnector West – known as VNI West – is a proposed new 500 kV double circuit transmission line connecting the high voltage electricity grids in New South Wales and Victoria. VNI West is being jointly developed with Transmission Company Victoria (TCV) and will connect major projects EnergyConnect in NSW and Western Renewables Link in Victoria. The preferred option runs from Transgrid’s Dinawan substation north of Jerilderie in NSW to new substations proposed near Kerang and Bulgana in Victoria.
The Australian Energy Regulator announced its decision in May 2024 to approve investment in early works for VNI West.
This allows Transgrid to progress with:
• obtaining state and federal planning approvals
• community engagement, including work to negotiate easements on properties
• design of transmission lines and substations
• securing equipment such as transformers and conductors which have long lead times
FM Legal only acts for affected landowners in seeking full compensation, we don’t ever act for Transgrid or other parts of Government compulsory acquiring land.
