northern side <strong>of</strong> the 220kV line, and within the easement, is a 66kV overhead<br />
power line operated and maintained by Powercor.<br />
The second line, the Anglesea – Point Henry line, is owned by Alcoa. This line is<br />
aligned across the eastern part <strong>of</strong> the study area in a generally south-west to northeast<br />
direction, within an easement approximately 36 metres in width.<br />
Electricity (distribution)<br />
The principal electrical distribution main consists <strong>of</strong> a 66kV (sub-transmission)<br />
overhead line that is located to the south <strong>of</strong> existing pylon mounted 220kV<br />
transmission lines. Both lines are contained within an easement approximately 62<br />
metres wide, aligned generally east-west across the north <strong>of</strong> the study area<br />
To provide sufficient capacity for the future development Powercor will need to<br />
extend the sub-transmission (66kV) overhead powerlines to a zone substation<br />
within the study area. To provide redundancy and supply contingencies two<br />
overhead lines will be required, travelling alternate routes to the zone substation.<br />
Powercor’s preference for the alignment <strong>of</strong> the two routes would be to follow the<br />
main roads within the development<br />
The preferred location <strong>of</strong> the zone substation is central to the residential precinct<br />
East <strong>of</strong> the Surf Coast Highway.<br />
Powercor advises that route and substation location selection is an involved<br />
process that will need to include studies into environmental effects, electrical<br />
design and other utility requirements, once development staging and layouts are<br />
established.<br />
Natural gas<br />
SP AusNet (formerly known as TXU) is the supplier <strong>of</strong> natural gas within the study<br />
area. t-Squared (t2) is a service provider for SP AusNet.<br />
It has been established that the existing gas infrastructure has insufficient capacity<br />
to service the Armstrong Creek development, and that a new gas main will need to<br />
be installed.<br />
A new gas main will be able to take advantage <strong>of</strong> a future upgrade to the gas<br />
supply network. t2 advises that a new 160mm diameter supply main to Barwon<br />
Heads is scheduled for the latter quarter <strong>of</strong> 2007 with the supply source originating<br />
from Waurn Ponds. The route for this supply main runs along the southern<br />
boundary <strong>of</strong> the study area, i.e. along Mt Duneed Road, Lower Duneed road, and<br />
Barwon Heads Road.<br />
