Workshop: How to respond to the Powerlink EIS? Make your response count

Please respond to this email by Friday 6 February to register your interest. If you do not respond we cannot guarantee there will be places available on the workshop.

Do you want to make your response count and :

  • Show the inadequacy of PL-PB’s ill-informed ‘desktop’ decision
  • Help save your community and wildlife from significant destruction
  • Stop more bad State Government decisions
  • If we all do it together the job is more manageable
  • Ensure PL and PB do their job properly

PAGE is considering putting on a workshop to help people respond effectively to the Powerlink draft EIS for their proposed transmission line and substation through Eerwah Vale, that is expected in the next few weeks. The EIS will be a large document, that can be unwieldy, intimidating and complex. The workshop will aim to help you to:

Understand the EIS process and the background to this process

  • Provide a template for you to complete your responses
  • Give ideas for you to make a submission on
  • Point out the types of things you should look for in the EIS
  • What?s the EIS says
  • More importantly what it doesn?t say
  • Give you an opportunity to ask specific questions
  • Explain the process from this point forward

The workshop is expected to run for 2 hours and will be presented by PAGE and Adam Presnell, B.Env.Sc, Director of ATP Environmental Consultants.

Possible dates: either Saturday 21 February or Saturday 28 February

Proposed time:             3pm - 5pm

Cost:                            free

Venue:              to be determined, based upon interest

is a group of people who are keen to see our environment protected and insisting that the Queensland State Government and its agencies (like Powerlink) consider viable alternatives rather than the business as usual approach to electricity generation and transmission.
