The state regulator has set out a new \u2018Statement of Expectations\u2019 for how electricity transmission companies access private land \u2013 but it remains to be seen how a company planning local power lines will comply.<\/p>\n

The Essential Services Commission (ESC) put its Statement of Expectations into effect on Wednesday 1 June, with transmission company AusNet \u2013 which is planning the high voltage overhead powerlines as part of the Western Victoria Transmission Network Project (WVTNP) \u2013 welcoming the news.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Statement of Expectations will help to ensure the community can hold us to account against clear guidelines of how we are to approach negotiating land access and agreement making,\u201d AusNet\u2019s Chief Development Officer, Chad Hymas, said in a media release.<\/p>\n

\u201cAusNet acknowledges how frustrating and upsetting the process of land access has been for some landholders. We hope that the Statement of Expectations and the training our staff and contractors are doing to deliver this, will improve the experience for landholders, acknowledging the challenges experienced to date.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Hymas added that AusNet is \u201cabsolutely committed to working closely with the Essential Services Commission to ensure the community\u2019s expectations are fulfilled and the process is improved in the future\u201d.<\/p>\n

Among the principles within the Statement of Expectations are to \u201censure staged, timely engagement and consultation\u201d, \u201cemploy respectful two-way communication\u201d, and \u201cmake clear when and why access is required\u201d.<\/p>\n

But community groups fighting plans for the WVTNP to go overhead aren\u2019t convinced much will change with how AusNet operates.<\/p>\n
