Natural Resources Management

Natural Resources Management offers solutions to encourage the ongoing protection, rehabilitation and conservation of land, biodiversity (native flora and fauna) and water.

And there are many government, government-supported, private and volunteer organisations striving to create this sustainable balance – including ElectraNet.

At ElectraNet, we consider a wide range of essential environmental and social aspects when managing the transmission network and constructing new developments, to:

 

  • Comply with all relevant Acts and Regulations

  • Minimise impact on native flora and fauna

  • Minimise impact on watercourses

  • Protect Aboriginal and European heritage interests

  • Minimise potential impacts on the South Australian landscape (including the visibility of our high-voltage transmission assets)

  • Minimise impact on our neighbouring landowners and occupiers

  • Successfully manage fire-risk by continuing our rigorous inspection, maintenance, selective vegetation clearance and operating protocols

  • Address all construction and ongoing operational management issues

  • Maintain access for farm machinery on local roads and within properties.
