Stakeholder feedback to inform Final Corridor Selection Report

18 December 2025

Powerlink released the Corridor Validation Report (Sections A–C) and the Draft Corridor Selection Report (Section D) on 8 October 2025. The Draft Corridor Selection Report identified a recommended corridor for a new transmission line of approximately 15 km between the proposed Gladstone West Substation and the existing Larcom Creek Substation. Powerlink currently holds a vacant easement of around 10 km in this area.

The Corridor Validation Report is the final report and recommends constructing the proposed transmission line within the existing easement in Sections A and B, and alongside the existing easement in Section C.

During the public submission period (8 October to 4 November 2025), Powerlink received feedback via multiple channels, including:

  • in-person community information drop-in sessions in Bajool, Bouldercombe and Mt Larcom
  • online interactive mapping tool
  • online feedback form
  • phone call (via phone number 1800 635 369)
  • email to cqprojects@powerlink.com.au

Powerlink is now collating and considering feedback received on this recommended corridor. A Final Corridor Selection Report is currently being prepared, detailing the final transmission corridor for Section D.

Thank you to all stakeholders who have provided feedback on the project so far.
