Buloke Shire Council opposes VNI West in current form
Publish date: 20 May 2025
Buloke Shire Council acknowledges the concern across the community regarding the VNI West transmission line project.
Recent engagement with the Buloke community has revealed strong and widespread opposition to the VNI West transmission project in its current form. While some individuals are directly affected by the proposed alignment, many others have voiced concern about broader issues including land use, farmland protection, consultation processes, and the cumulative impact of transmission infrastructure on rural communities.
Buloke Shire Council therefore wish to express that it formally opposes the VNI West transmission project in its current form.
This opposition reflects the dissatisfaction with the engagement and planning process to date, as well as a lack of confidence that the project will deliver fair and lasting outcomes for the Buloke community, Farmers, landholders and the environment.
