The site lies within a strategic north-west Victorian energy corridor and benefits from proximity to established network assets. Aerial mapping shows the site boundary, local road context and the alignment of the current 220 kV Bendigo–Mildura line that underpins the location choice.
Daytrap Road, Manangatang. Approx. 4 km south-west of Manangatang township
