Background

Powerlink is proposing to build a new high voltage transmission line between the existing Bouldercombe and Larcom Creek substations.

The project will reinforce electricity supply to the Gladstone region and increase network capacity and reliability to service the evolving industry in this area.

Gladstone West Substation

Powerlink acquired land for a new substation and is in the early stages of planning.

For planning and environmental approval purposes, this substation is part of the Bouldercombe to Larcom Creek Transmission Line Reinforcement Project.

The Gladstone Project

The Gladstone Project forms part of Powerlink’s broader program of work to reinforce the transmission network in Central Queensland. More information can be found at powerlink.com.au/projects/gladstone-project.
