Underground Power in Mosman Park

For the past two decades, the Town of Mosman Park has been dedicated to replacing overhead powerlines with underground infrastructure in collaboration with the State Government and Western Power.

In 2002-2003, the Town of Mosman Park successfully implemented underground power to around half of Mosman Park through Western Power’s State Underground Power Program.

However, the complexity and cost of underground power (and serious challenges in securing funding) have left the remainder of Mosman Park still without this infrastructure upgrade.

We share the sentiment that this is not in the best interests of our community, nor the environment. Underground power brings a raft of sustainable benefits, such as safer and more reliable power supply, visually appealing streetscapes and enhanced property values.

Which is why Councillors and Town Administration have dedicated a significant amount of time to Mosman Park’s Underground Power project.

Together with the Underground Power Advisory Group (UPAG) we have been working relentlessly for decades with State Government entities to learn more about funding rounds, submit several funding applications, undertake feasibility studies, and evaluate the time and costs involved with delivering underground power to the rest of Mosman Park as soon as possible.

Latest update – key takeaways

  • Western Power is estimating that the planned installation date for the remaining underground power in Mosman Park will fall between 2032 and 2037 as part of their Targeted Underground Power Program (TUPP).
  • Western Power has given the Town an option to bring U/P forward (before 2032) through their Retrospective Undergrounding Project (RUP).
  • To bring the project forward, the Town would need to pass on significantly more costs to Mosman Park property owners.
  • The Town is not in a financial position to cover the cost of underground power.
  • U/P is a complex and expensive project – it is still early days and there is a high degree of uncertainty around costs.
  • The Town will undertake financial modelling so that we can provide property owners with more certainty around costs.
  • Community consultation will take place during 2024-25 to determine the level of support to bring U/P forward in Mosman Park.
  • No decision will be made by Council until financial modelling and consultation is completed.
  • If the U/P project is not brought forward, a contribution would still be required from property owners – however, the cost will be lower than if the project was accelerated.
