    PO BOX 557, BEAUDESERT Queensland 4285 www.laca.org.au 04 09 11 Dept of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities Dear Officer, RE: ENERGEX LOGANLEA TO JIMBOOMBA & MATTER OF NATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE – SPOTTED TAIL QUOLL ( Logan City Council QLD) The Logan and Albert Conservation Association would like to bring to the Federal Government’s attention the current proposal by Energex to upgrade a 110 kV corridor from the suburbs of Loganlea to Jimboomba. The proposed corridor will include Logan Reserve Rd ( underground) to the Logan River ( 5 river crossings) , cross at Anzac Ave ( over Geoff Philip Bridge over the Logan River near Logan Village) and proceed south along Waterford – Tamborine Rd and then veer south-west to Camp Cable Rd and the west to be hooked up to the Jimboomba Substation. There is currently a corridor along Logan Reserve Rd, none along the Logan River, none along Waterfrod Tamborine Rd, and an existing 33 kV powerline to service local residents on the southern side of Camp Cable Rd east of the Jimboomba substation. See details on the proposal online on http://www.energex.com.au/building-and-maintaining-the-network/major- projects/loganlea-to-jimboomba-network-upgrade ( see attachments with this email for proposed Loganlea to Jimboomba Corridor Map 1 and Map 2) As part of this powerline corridor investigation, LACA has participated in the various community consultations to date that began in November 2008 with a Corridor Selection Report. The Final Assessment Report has been submitted to the Minister for Energy and Water Utilities in 2011 for consideration of the project, prior to designation and construction approval.
