Hundreds of farmers have rallied outside Parliament House in Melbourne to demand the Victorian government refuse to approve energy company AusNet's proposed Western Victorian Transmission Network Project (WVTNP).
The controversial project proposes 500-kilovolt high-voltage transmission lines that, if installed above ground, could be 85 metres high and would transport renewable energy from Bulgana, north of Ararat, to Melbourne.
Emma Muir, who farms at Myrniong east of Ballan, organised the protest via the Stop AusNet's Towers lobby group.
