Debating the electricity needs of the community and possible options for the proposed high voltage power line between Warwick and Stanthorpe has stalled again as one member of the Community Reference Group (CRG) has now blocked the majority decision that more power is required citing integrity issues with the data provided by Ergon.
The move has left members of the CRG less confident in being able to make appropriate decisions about the power needs with one member stating they were ‘over it’.
