Environmental management
We have a Statewide Clearing Permit (CPS 1918) that is used to manage the network. This includes works to meet the needs of the community by building, maintaining and operating an electricity network across the South West Interconnected Network. The following projects are open for public submissions due to their potential environmental impact.
Projects open for submission
Western Power proposes to install a 132kV transmission cable between its existing zone substations located on Gibson Ave, Padbury and Windsor Rd, Wangara to support the transmission network within the north metropolitan area. Up to 0.78 ha of clearing will occur of within which 0.4 ha is native vegetation and 0.38 ha has been previously disturbed, to install and connect the transmission cable into substations. Wherever and whenever possible we proactively work to minimise clearing and any potential impacts to natural habitat across the SWIS. Clearing has been minimised along the route through the use of existing roads, tracks and cleared areas for the majority of the route, limiting clearing to the final entries into each substation.
