Public consultation is now open on VicGrid’s proposed Victorian Access Regime.

Council understands the new regime forms part of VicGrid’s suite of reforms for how renewable energy and transmission projects seek to gain network access in Victoria.  

VicGrid has invited submissions on three key documents that make up the Victorian Access Regime: 

  • Access and Connections Consultation Paper 
  • Draft Grid Impact Assessment Guidelines 
  • Draft Community Engagement and Social Value Guidelines 

The consultation will close on 5 November 2025.

“Renewable energy and transmission projects are having a big impact on our region and community,” Moorabool Mayor Cr Paul Tatchell said.

“Council encourages people to make a submission and have their say.” 

VicGrid is hosting a webinar on Wednesday 8 October, from 6.30 to 8pm, which community members can attend to hear from VicGrid and ask questions about the reforms.
