What we are doing

We had been working to install a high-voltage (HV) connection to power the Westgate Ventilation Shaft and Headhouse site from 21 July to 7 September 2025.

This work was paused on 22 August, the worksite is cleared. We will restart in early October, for a few weeks. We will keep you informed. 

We will be digging a small trench and joint bay for installing ducts below ground to pull through and connect the HV cable.

We will close a part of the footpath and cycle lane on West Gate near the Manhattan Apartments during this work. A pedestrian diversion will be in place. Cyclists will need to dismount from their bikes and use the pedestrian diversion route.

We will be using hand-held tools and a vacuum excavator. We will put up noise reducing barriers where possible to minimise disruption.
