An update on this important infrastructure.

A significant project milestone was achieved in December 2023 with the construction of the Guybal Munjan® Switching Station in Mount Fox reaching practical completion. Site acceptance testing is underway, with final testing and commissioning works to commence in early 2024.
Construction progress on the Aurumfield Switching Station is also going well with an estimated construction completion date of Q2 2024.
New control buildings have arrived in Brisbane to complete factory acceptance testing before being deployed to the Aurumfield Switching Station in February 2024. These buildings will feature leading technology and are a critical part in maintaining the security and reliability of electricity out of the pumped hydro facility to North Queensland.
More than 230 of the 348 transmission tower foundations have now been completed along the transmission line alignment, with 16 towers erected and more than 50 towers assembled since tower assembly and installation works commenced from the Kidston end of the project.
Construction of the Mount Fox Cricket Ground wash down facility was completed in October 2023, and is currently utilised by construction vehicles and the Mount Fox Fire Brigade.
Construction works are anticipated to be completed by Q3/4 2024, subject to weather and site conditions.
