Over the past two decades, the Town of Mosman Park has worked alongside the State Government and Western Power to progressively replace overhead powerlines with underground infrastructure. This has already been achieved in several areas of the Town.
Underground power offers a range of long-term benefits – including a safer and more reliable power supply, improved streetscapes, and potential increases in property value.
In 2002–2003, approximately half of Mosman Park was converted to underground power through Western Power’s State Underground Power Program.
Since then, securing funding to complete the remaining areas has been challenging, and the high cost of undergrounding continues to be a barrier.
In response to strong and ongoing community interest, the Town has continued to work with Western Power to explore practical options and funding pathways to complete the transition across the rest of Mosman Park.
UNDERGROUND POWER SURVEY RESULTS
Thank you to all who participated in the recent Underground Power survey.
The result of the survey has shown that the majority of affected property owners (69.5%) do not want to proceed with bringing forward underground power. These results are obtained from a survey response rate of 32.5% of affected property owners.
The Town understands the long-term benefits underground power will bring to our community, and it will continue to be a key priority moving forward.

Key Takeaways
The planned installation for underground power (U/P) in Mosman Park is 2035-2045.
Western Power has given the Town an option to bring U/P forward (before 2032) through their Retrospective Undergrounding Power (RUP) Project.
To bring the project forward, the Town would need to pass on significantly more costs to Mosman Park property owners.
U/P is a complex and expensive project - it is still early days and there are a lot of uncertainties.
The Town will undertake financial modelling shortly so that we can provide property owners with more certainty around costs.
Community consultation will take place during 2024-25 to determine the level of support to bring U/P forward in Mosman Park.
No decision will be made by Council until financial modelling and consultation is completed.
If the U/P project is not brought forward, a contribution will still be required from property owners - however, the cost will be lower than if the project was accelerated.
