Community consultation and infrastructure siting disputes
Residents in Leichhardt, Penshurst and East Lindfield objected to proposed electricity infrastructure and criticized Ausgrid's consultation processes and responses to community complaints. The affected residents referred their concerns to politicians, the media, the Environmental Protection Authority and other authorities.
Allegations of asset gold plating
Critics accused Ausgrid of gold plating its assets, alleging that excessive or accelerated investment could inflate the value of the network during the privatization process. The reported rapid replacement of the vehicle fleet was cited in connection with this criticism.
