Notification of works

Marine Parade Seacliff

January - February 2025

What we’re doing

We're undergrounding a small section of overhead powerline between 49 and 57 Marine Parade, Seacliff. Two temporary poles will be installed in the road reserve set in concrete blocks in front of the boundary between 47-49, and at 57 Marine Parade before replacing the existing Stobie poles in the original locations. Poles in front of number 53 and on the boundary of 54A-56 Marine Parade will be permanently removed along with the overhead powerlines. 
For public safety, the temporary poles will be surrounded by fencing.

We'll be installing a new service pit in 56 Marine Parade adjacent the fence at 54A for the new underground connection to these properties (the lid will be flush with ground level), and a fused pillar (a knee-high box) inside the boundary of 53 Marine Parade. Finally, we'll be installing a new public lighting column in front of 53 Marine Parade to replace the LED light that is currently connected to the Stobie pole which will be permanently removed.

What this means for locals 

There will be some noise and dust impacts from trenching and heavy vehicles. Crews and third-party contractors will do their best to keep these to a minimum.

Customers at 51, 54, 54A & 56 will have new underground consumer wiring to the meter board from the new service pits. The private electrical contractor will engage with those affected regarding access and will provide electrical compliance certificates on completion. 

No off-street parking on the following days

As Marine Parade is very narrow and we will be using heavy vehicles, there will be no off-street parking between Ozone Parade and Wheatland Street. The road will be closed or restricted between Wheatland Street and 71 Marine Parade between 7.30am and 4pm on the following days:

January

• Thursday 16 January
• Wednesday 22 January

February

• Thursday 6 February 
• Wednesday 12 to Friday 14 February  

A final date to be confirmed once customers have been connected to the new underground services. 

Some customers will experience power outages on these dates apart from Thursday 13 – Friday 14 February. We will notify those affected in advance. 
The civil contractors or traffic controllers will let residents know if their help is needed to keep work zones clear. Road plates will enable residents to continue using their driveways.

Power outages

We typically send planned power outage notifications two weeks before the work, however there may be delays in the postal service, so we recommend the SMS subscription. If you do not already receive free SMS/ email updates about your power, you can sign up for updates via our website, or call us on 13 12 61 for assistance. You need the National Meter Identifier (NMI) from your electricity bill to subscribe.

Thank you

Thank you in advance for your patience during this work. Crews and contractors will minimise any disruption as much as possible, however we apologise for any inconvenience you may experience.
