Community members endeavouring to respond to a 1900-page Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) regarding high voltage powerlines and pylons have called an extension granted by project proponent Powerlink as ‘half-hearted’.

By • Mar 5th, 2009 • Category: How are you affected?

For those of us who have lived with cancer, who have just been diagnosed, or have lost loved ones from cancer, we know only too well the ramifications of living close to high voltage transmission lines.

Of course, our solicitor carried out all the necessary searches for any [...]



Why we came to Noosa

By • Mar 1st, 2009 • Category: How are you affected?

I used to look forward to our week-ends, enjoying all that the Noosa area has to offer – canoeing, swimming, walks on the beaches, through the forest and working on our beautiful acreage property. That has all gone by the way-side while I work through the hell of what this Government is forcing me, my [...]
