Powerlink values our relationship with the communities in which we operate. Our infrastructure crosses more than 19,000 properties and we take our responsibilities to engage with key stakeholders in these communities seriously.
We work with landholders as we plan, build, operate and maintain Queensland’s electricity transmission network. We refer to these landholders who own or occupy properties over which a transmission easement is located as ‘hosting landholders’.
We also recognise that neighbours located near transmission lines also play an important role in supporting the delivery and ongoing maintenance of our infrastructure. We refer to these stakeholders who own or occupy properties adjoining or in the vicinity of our easements as ‘near neighbours’.
We are committed to open and honest communication. How we engage with you depends on how our infrastructure and activities may affect you and the information or support you need.
For further information about how we engage on projects, see our Transmission Easement Engagement Process. Additional information is available below.
