Overview
We’ve created the Strathbogie Benalla Community Liaison Group to:
- provide a place for local community members, organisations and businesses to share feedback directly with AusNet
- share the details, timelines and key milestones for AusNet’s projects targeted to improve network performance in the region
- identify areas of community need that we can support.
The group is independently chaired by Lachlan McKinnon and acts as an advisory body. From August 2024 the group will meet every six weeks until projects to improve local power reliability are completed.
Community representatives on the SBCLG:
- Euroa Chamber of Business & Commerce
- Violet Town Market Coordinator
- Local business owner
- Strathbogie Shire Council
- Benalla Rural City Council
AusNet representatives on the SBCLG:
- Andrew Linnie, Executive General Manager – Network Operations
- Hoang Vu – Manager – Operational Engineering and Construction
- Rachael Anthony – Manager, Community & Stakeholder Engagement
- Other members from AusNet as needed to provide information
Minutes and presentations will be published on this web page within 20 business days of each meeting.
