This is the second step of CitiPower’s Claremont Street Upgrades, which are part of the City of Stonnington’s Forrest Hill Precinct Masterplan.
In 2020, we removed the power poles and began to move our cables underground. This year, from November until just before the Christmas trading period, we’ll be back to underground the remaining powerlines and install conduits to prepare for the installation of LED streetlights in late-2022.
Sections of the road and footpath along the length of Claremont Street, South Yarra, will experience temporary disruption for vehicles and pedestrians. We are committed to minimising impacts wherever possible and working with businesses and residents during the delivery of these works.
The upgrade is divided into two stages:
Stage 1 (August – December 2020) includes:
Stage 2 (November – December 2021) will include
City of Stonnington Streetscape Improvement Works (late 2022) will include
Reducing impacts
Phase two will take just over one month to complete and will finish ahead of the end of year shopping period, so people can move with ease.
We know residents and businesses have already seen a lot of work in the area, so we have planned to minimise our impact on the community as much as we can by ensuring:
Keeping you informed
We are committed to engaging and communicating with residents, businesses and the community effectively.
We will notify residents and businesses directly before works begin and provide 7-10 days’ notice of any serious impacts such as power outages.
