A community meeting hosted by the Circular Head Coastal Awareness Network (CHCAN) at the Smithton Recreation attracted 150 locals keen to learn both sides of the narrative in regards to the Robbins Island Renewable Energy Park application set to be tabled early this year.
Emcee Leanne Minshull was joined by Michael Anderson, Craig Garland and Ben Marshall on the panel, as well as Birdlife expert Eric Woehler joining the meeting via Zoom.
The group touched on a wealth of concerns, namely the environmental impact of the transmission line, the impact of putting a bridge across Robbins Passage, the impact on birdlife, the lack of benefits to the local community, the Marinus Link and concerns about jobs being outsourced to fly in fly out workers among other things.
