Bayswater needs more power

As with a lot of our suburbs, more sub-divisions and electronic devices (such as air conditioners and plasma televisions) are driving the need for new community zone substations. In this instance it is Bayswater but the likelihood is that most suburbs will need power reinforcement in the not too distant future by way of a community substation.

We have invited 7500 residents to come along to a community session, being held on Thursday 18 March at the Galleria Shopping Centre, to share with us their key consideration and concerns. They can also submit their thoughts online via our quick survey. The key concern so far is to keep the substation away from the residential areas.

What happens if, after extensive site option and technical design analysis with input from the community, it isn’t possible to stay away from the residential areas? What do you think we should do?
