EnergyCo has advised that aerial survey work along the proposed project corridor between Muswellbrook and Armidale will commence from Tuesday, 1 September.

To help minimise impacts on farming operations and livestock, the survey contractor will:
โœ… Fly at a higher altitude than required
โœ… Remove hover points
โœ… Maintain a steady operating speed to reduce noise and disturbance

The flight path has also been designed to avoid sensitive areas where possible, and direct flights over observed concentrations of livestock will be avoided.

EnergyCo has committed to keep landholders and communities informed throughout the survey program.
