Sequence the corridor as a programme.
A corridor is a sequence — not a set. Outreach order matters; an early failure compounds.
Transmission · Developer side
Transmission is route work — landholders by the kilometre.
Corridor design is a landholder programme. Routes are won and lost at the parcel boundary, not on the GIS layer.
Why AA in this sector
Routes are won at the parcel boundary, not on the GIS layer.
A transmission corridor is not a line on a map — it is a sequence of agreements with consecutive landholders. A single objector inside a 60 km corridor can re‑route the entire alignment.
AA has supported more than 150 km of transmission line design and engaged with more than 300 landholders on corridor work, including 100+ proposed corridors and line adjustments. We work for network operators, government‑backed schemes and project owners co‑locating with substations.
We do not provide native title or community engagement. What we do is the parcel‑by‑parcel landholder programme that sits underneath the corridor design — and the substation host work that often sits at the corridor endpoint.

Key considerations
What separates a transmission land assembly consultant from a corridor designer.
Five lines of inquiry network operators and government‑backed schemes have used to differentiate specialists.
Easement value, not land value.
Hosts are valuing impact and forbearance, not freehold. A pure freehold reference rate is the wrong commercial frame.
Substation host alongside corridor.
Endpoints carry concentrated impact and concentrated value. Substation host work should run in parallel with corridor outreach, not after.
Adjustments built into the plan.
Plan for 10–20% route adjustment by alignment. Carry contingency on the engagement plan, not on the schedule.
Boundary handover discipline.
Where AA hands over to the project EPC, the boundary needs to be written. Most attrition happens at handover, not at outreach.
