The Hunter Transmission Project faces backlash for endangering 66 species and seven ecosystems, despite its clean energy goals.
A conservation group, the Biodiversity Council, has warned the Hunter Transmission Project could cause irreversible harm to 66 threatened species and seven ecological communities, criticizing its route through forests and conservation areas despite acknowledging the need for renewable energy infrastructure.
Over 170 public submissions raised concerns about environmental, cultural, and social impacts, including inadequate consultation with First Nations groups.
While some support the project as vital for the region’s clean energy transition, EnergyCo, the developer, said it is reviewing feedback and plans to release updated designs and responses in early 2026, noting most infrastructure will be on previously disturbed land.
