Selection of Route
Ideally, the line route should be as short and straight as possible in order to minimize costs, minimize stays and have a tidy appearance. However, some other factors that need to be taken into account are:
a) Land issues, ease of acquisition, rights over private lands etc.;
b) Ease of obtaining necessary approvals;
c) Stakeholder considerations and acceptance;
d) Vegetation clearing, environmental and visual impact, EMF impact;
e) Access for construction, maintenance and operations;
f) Ease of servicing all lots for Low Voltage Lines;
g) Compatibility with future development;
h) Waterways, parks and natural habitat; and
i) Terrain suitability and ground conditions (excavation, pole foundation etc.)
