To meet the rapidly growing demand for power in East Perth and Perth CBD, Western Power will be installing 11 kV underground cables in the area.
The new underground cables will provide safe and reliable power to the residents and businesses in the City of Perth and East Perth and allow for continued growth and development of the region.
The cables will allow power from Western Power's existing Milligan Street, Hay Street and Forrest Ave substations to be distributed throughout the Perth CBD and East Perth area.
Work to install the underground cables will be undertaken in two stages:
Stage one works will include preliminary surveying, locating existing underground services and, in consultation with the City of Perth, selecting the cable route and obtaining the necessary works permits.
Western Power will conduct Traffic Management and Noise Impact studies, after which a timeline for these works will be finalised.
Undergrounding of the cables is expected to take about 12 months to complete. Further information will be provided to the City of Perth and key stakeholders once confirmed.
We will keep the community and key stakeholders informed regarding the progress of this project by distributing project brochures, posting public notices in local newspapers and updated project information will be available on the Western Power website.
