Statement of Significance

Two reasons are presented for the low grading of this site: The material, located on the ground surface, are not in an original context and therefore have low significance. In addition, the material is spread over quite a large area, with the conclusion that sufficient of the material will be retained when the power line is constructed across a small section of it. Secondly, the impacts of a 132kV powerline on heritage resources are generally low. The size of the pylon base is very small, and generally no roads are bulldozed for maintenance of the line.
