Community input on Cethana pumped hydro welcomed

Thank you to everyone who attended our community information sessions about the project. Sessions were held in and around Sheffield to update the community and hear from local residents. More than 80 people attended the five events and we also chatted with locals at the Claude Road Markets.

The sessions were an opportunity for Hydro Tasmania to provide an update on what’s ahead for the project. Information was also shared on:

• the role of pumped hydro in the electricity market
• planning for local benefits sharing
• how to plan for future workforce accommodation needs
• environmental and social considerations.

Our team answered questions from the community about workforce accommodation, employment opportunities, health services, managing traffic, environmental management, access to recreation areas, and project costs.

If you missed out on the information sessions but would like to chat with the project team, please give Bronwyn a call on 0457 237 453.
