Public access denied on CRG

MEMBERS of the Power Community Reference Group (CRG) have denied public access to the group’s final meeting in Stanthorpe tonight (20 June).
The final meeting follows more than 12 months of deliberations and will take place at the Vines Motel.
According to the CRG website members requested that the meeting be closed to the public and media, known as observers.
“The meeting will be considering the feedback from Ergon and the community received in response to the interim report presented on the 30 May,” the group said on the website.
“The minutes will be posted as soon as possible after the meeting to provide the community an update on progress, and how their feedback is being addressed in the final report.
“The CRG will also provide advice of any planned further meetings.”
The seven remaining members of the CRG announced line route five as their preferred line route corridor during a public meeting on 30 May.
Line route five travels north of Warwick through north Toolburra and Leslie; before travelling west of Stanthorpe through Bullecourt and Canon Creek.
But several North Toolburra landholders have slammed the decision after claims the group failed to inform residents of the new power line corridor.
