There’s a lot we need to do to get power underground. This includes:
Installing new underground power cables in the road reserve under verges
Installing connection pillars (green dome/box), usually at the front corner of a property and the adjacent property
Installing transformers and switchgear units to manage the distribution of power throughout the area. These are located in parks and public open spaces, or sometimes along property side verges
Installing an underground connection from the connection pillar to the meter box at each property
Changing each property over to the new underground system once it’s complete and is live, and removing the old overhead conductors
Designing and installing a new LED streetlight system that meets the latest Australian Standards
Removing existing wood poles and overhead powerlines (excluding transmission poles and wires)
