The Berejiklian government wants to amend the management plan of the Kosciuszko National Park to permit new electricity transmission lines to be built, an act critics describe as âwilful vandalismâ.
The changes, proposed in a plan that is open to public comment, come as four independent MPs have written to Planning Minister Rob Stokes and Environment Minister Matt Kean calling for the powerlines linking the Snowy 2.0 pumped hydro project to the grid to be buried underground.

The changes would override the 2006 management plan that specifically barred any additional overhead telecommunication and transmission lines from being built in the park.
