Our team across Hydro Tasmania and Entura supported the EIS / DA process and community participation through a range of activities across Central Highlands communities including Hamilton, Tarraleah, Bothwell, Ouse, Bronte Park and Wayatinah.

Our team had many great conversations, centred on understanding the changing energy landscape, why the project was needed, construction impacts, and opportunities for local employment and community benefit.

Themes included strong interest in the future use of the existing Tarraleah Power Station, preservation of local heritage assets, and the need for clear information about timelines, workforce accommodation and infrastructure impacts. Generally, there is support and enthusiasm for the Project and recognition of the Project’s potential economic and regional benefits.
