After evaluating several routes and sites in Tasmania and Victoria, TasNetworks has announced the route from Heybridge (Burnie) to Hazelwood (on the Victorian side) achieves the best balance of the project’s objectives and the technical, environmental and social criteria. The site proposed is the former Tioxide site on the western side of Heybridge, on the Bass Highway.
TasNetworks has released its Marinus Link Route Options Report Overview, which is open for consultation. The full Route Options Report will be made available from early 2021.
In early 2021, Project Marinus will host a public webinar to provide more information on the proposed route and answer questions
from the community. They will also host in person sessions throughout North West Tasmania and the Gippsland region.
The proposed route may vary as a result of the environmental, cultural heritage, socio-economic and technical studies, and as engagements with landowners and the community are further progressed.
