Uralla

Um, anyway, I'm going through my, my droughts.

Group 19, Uralla defeated Inverell 25 to 24.

Yeah.

It, it's another great grand final.

You know, there were farmers who described, um, EnergyCo's willingness to modify the route.

Uh, one particular farmer, this one's closer to Uralla, for example, didn't want the, um, uh, lines going near a heritage wool shed they got, and EnergyCo agreed.

So there is a little bit of give and take.

There is obviously, um, uh, yeah, areas of people are going to lose amenity.

I think there's, there's no way around that.

But, um, having a message about like, you know, can rates, for example, be suppressed because of transmission project lines coming through does make a difference.

Because at the moment, for instance, I think Uralla's rates are up 28% this year, 27% the year after.

If there's not additional funding coming in, yeah, a lot of farmers are gonna, you know, uh, see a lot of money going out the door.
