Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House the Community’s total opposition to the construction of the proposed 270 KVA overhead transmission lines that will destroy the unique and fragile environmental corridor of Ridgewood to Eerwah Vale. The terrain of this corridor is not fit for purpose and will be a safety issue for residents, maintenance and emergency workers. It will affect the valuable tourist industry by the permanent and obtrusive high voltage towers through this beautiful landscape. The House should note that the proposed construction totally contradicts the Government 'Q2' plan to reduce our carbon footprint and to protect our lifestyle and environment by introducing more sustainable methods of supplying electricity to the community. The residents believe the dEIS and the consultation process carried out by Parsons Brinkerhoff who is paid by Powerlink is fundamentally flawed. Your petitioners therefore request the House to bring pressure to bear on Powerlink not to proceed with this project through its current proposed route but to seek further independent consultation to choose a more appropriate and safer option.
