Pole Poll Reveals Support For Going Underground
An `electricity' poll conducted last weekend by McNair Ingenuity Research found that most people in Sydney would be prepared to pay $80 extra in rates per annum for the next 30 years in order to fund moving electricity cabling underground. Those most in favour of burying Sydney's cabling were the young and the affluent. In fact, three quarters of people with a household income of over $80,000 were in favour of paying the additional rates in order to move power cables underground.

| How This Poll Was Conducted This topic was included in the ongoing Australians Today research program conducted by McNair Ingenuity Research. The survey was conducted amongst 304 people aged 18+ by telephone between Saturday 15th and Monday 17th December 2001. The 304 Respondents were selected randomly across Sydney from the electronic white pages. The interviews were conducted by trained interviewers according to standards set-out by Interviewer Quality Control Australia. A quality control validation was conducted across 10% of the interviews. Respondents were asked: It has recently been proposed that Sydney's electricity power lines be put underground. It is estimated that this will cost about $80 per year for every household for the next 30 years. Are you in favour of paying the $80 levy per year and having the power lines moved underground, or would you prefer to leave them above ground?
