Advertisements (pictured) have been placed in the Moorabool News and other local publications just outside the shire however, Council also placed one advert in the Canberra Times. Why?<\/p>\n

Derek Madden is the CEO Moorabool Shire Council and told the Moorabool News it was important to take out these ads locally to correct the misinformation AusNet has put out to the local community.<\/p>\n

\u201cCouncil requested AusNet remove some items relating to the undergrounding of powerlines due to what we felt were misleading and inaccurate statements,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAusNet refused and placed a number of advertisements locally, highlighting some of the facts we felt required further analysis and explanation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Within the advertisement, Council dispels, what they regard as \u2018misinformation\u2019. Underground would be 16 times more expensive; Council says underground HVDC option is only six times more expensive than the current overhead plan.<\/p>\n

Ausnet say undergrounding would require a 30-metre easement; with a HVDC cable, Council said it would only require a 3-metre easement. The advertisement also addressed the path of the overhead towers, disturbance to flora, fauna and agriculture, and farming practices.<\/p>\n

Mr Madden said the independent report Council commissioned uncovered the truth about the cost of both options, and the environmental and community impact on putting the powerlines overhead.<\/p>\n
