AusNet will be undertaking aerial inspection from April 13 – 17 including in Ghin Ghin, Killingworth, Limestone, Murrindindi Highlands and Yea.
Helicopters give them a bird’s-eye view, so they can more easily identify and repair any wear and tear on powerlines and poles.
These inspections help support a reliable and safe electricity supply.

IN the early evening on Tuesday, April 7, a collision occurred at Cottons Pinch on the Goulburn Valley Highway, between Yea and Molesworth.
A ute was travelling in a south westerly direction and merging after overtaking. They didn’t see that they hadn’t cleared a heavy rigid tip truck and clipped the front aluminium bumper. This caused the ute to close control.
The ute spun and hit the wire rope barrier before rolling onto its roof and sliding for some distance.
The driver of the ute, a 76 year old male, and the passenger in the ute, an 86 year old female, sustained some cuts and grazes but fortunately no other injuries.
They were airlifted to the Royal Melbourne Hospital. The man was released from hospital today (Wednesday) and the woman is expected to be released tomorrow. Both are doing well.
There were no issues with the driver of the tip truck, and they helped to direct traffic while emergency services were on the way.
The emergency services in attendance included multiple ambulances and MICA vehicles, CFA units from Yea, Molesworth and Whanregarwen, and police from Yea and Marysville.
