The Western Australian Government has committed $10.6 million for underground power plants in Hilton and Shelley, including the removal of 550 power poles and 28km of overhead lines.

60 per cent of the Perth metropolitan area now has underground power.

The $8 million Hilton project, which includes $7 million from Western Power and $1 million from the City of Fremantle, is being delivered by GENUS as part of the Network Renewal Undergrounding Program Pilot.

Fremantle Mayor, Hannah Fitzhardinge, said, “The City of Fremantle is delighted to be partnering with Western Power in this project, which will deliver underground power to Hilton residents.

“Hilton is known as a garden suburb and removing the power lines will allow all the beautiful street trees to grow to their full height, as well as providing a safer and more reliable power supply.”

Western Power will remove 334 poles, eight pole top transformers and 17.19km of overhead conductor in Hilton, and replace them with 8.9km of underground cables.
