On 25 June 2008 Powerlink provided the AER with a copy of the planning approval document from the Queensland Minister for Mines and Energy in relation to the South Pine to Sandgate (undergrounding route) contingent project.

On 8 July 2008 the AER confirmed with Powerlink that it was satisfied Powerlink had met the requirements of the AER decision as set out in its Statement of reasons and has consequently adjusted Powerlink’s 2007 to 2012 revenue cap for the expected maximum allowed revenue to take account of the South Pine to Sandgate contingent project.
