Hunter Transmission Project - EIS Map

Project Overview

The Hunter Transmission Project includes:

a new overhead 500 kilovolt (kV) double circuit transmission line of around 110 kilometres
two new switching stations (Bayswater South and Olney)
upgrades to the existing Bayswater and Eraring substations
adjustments and upgrades to existing transmission lines
property adjustment works to facilitate access to the transmission lines and switching stations
utility adjustments required for the construction of the transmission network infrastructure
ancillary works to support construction including road upgrades, establishment of new access tracks and upgrades to existing access tracks, construction support sites (some with temporary worker accommodation), and other construction facilities such as laydown areas

The Hunter Transmission Project corridor runs mostly though power station, mining and government land between Bayswater and Broke. It then traverses the Pokolbin, Corrabare, Watagan and Olney State forests where it joins the existing 500 kV transmission line running between Eraring and Kemps Creek in Western Sydney.
