The ridges to the east of Muswellbrook in the Bowmans Creek area have strong wind speeds and are currently used for grazing. There are relatively few residences in the area which means the potential for noise and other impacts to residences are minimised.

The map below shows the project area including the location of existing 132,000 volt (red) and 330,000 volt (orange) transmission lines, and the Liddell and Bayswater Power Stations.
