Benjamin Millar Kelly Conroy has battled atrocious conditions to spearhead a monumental effort in the community campaign for high-voltage power lines planned to run through Moorabool to be buried underground. Ms Conroy took off at 7am on Friday on a run to raise awareness of AusNet’s plan to install a series of 85-metre towers carrying high-voltage lines from beyond Ballarat through Moorabool and Melton and into Sydenham. Her original plan was to run 160 kilometres to highlight just how far the wires will travel and how much of the landscape will be impacted. Facing fierce winds throughout the day, she completed more than 100 kilometres before passing the baton to her support runners late on Friday night, with the team racking up more than 250 kilometres in total.
