Communications monopole
Western Power has installed a communications monopole at the Gosnells zone substation, which is located on the corner of Walter and Crandon streets (PDF 258kb). The monopole provides an essential communication link between the Gosnells and Southern River substations and ensures the quality and reliability of power in the area.

Fence improvement
To improve the security of the substation and to reduce noise a combination of palisade fence and solid wall will replace the existing fence. Before construction of the palisade fence can commence, a temporary security fence must first be installed beyond the perimeter of the property boundary. Some vegetation clearing will be carried out before the temprary fence can be constructed.
Managing the visual impact
As part of our ongoing strategy to engage with the community, Western Power will be undertaking significant improvement work at our Gosnells substation to reduce the impact of the substation on the local community.
