The proposal is to construct and operate a 132 kilovolt (kV) transmission line between either the Picton or Manjimup substations and Mineral Deposits Limited proposed mineral sands mine at Beenup. SECWA's preferred option is for an overhead supply at 132kV from the Manjimup substation. Two other options from Picton (Great North Road and Margaret River) are also proposed.

SECWA proposes to expand the generating capacity of the approved Pinjar gas turbine power station site (eight 37MW units) by approximately 300 megawatts (MW). This represents a doubling in the power generating capacity of the power station. In SECWA's original proposal (approved under Ministerial Statement 61 ) the plant was proposed to be a peaking plant which can operate at times of high demand (1 to 8 hours per day) or in emergencies. In this expansion proposal the new gas turbines are... Read more...Last updated: June 12, 1991
The proposal is to establish a second coal-fired base load power station 8km east-north-east of Collie.

The proposal is for the construction of a standard 22 kV three phase wood pole distribution line from Northcliffe to the Windy Harbour settlement, a distance of approximately 30 kilometres. For much of its length, the powerline would pass through the D'Entrecasteaux National Park and an area which has been proposed as national park under the Department of Conservation and Land Management's (CALM) Shannon Park and D'Entrecasteaux National Park Management Plan 1987/88 and the...

The proposal is for a 330 kV transmission line from Harvey to Kwinana, a distance of approximately 102 km. The first 51 km of the route parallels the existing Bunbury - Cannington 132 kV line from the Harvey Substation site almost to Pinjarra. There are a number of deviations to avoid major road intersections, dwellings and their environs and Pinjarra townsite. Following this , the route joins the existing Muja - Southern Terminal 330 kV line and follows it for most of the next 44 km. There is... Read more...
