tram power upgrade project
Impact on land
The project will ensure the site is securely fenced
off for the entire construction period. Most works
will be restricted to the substation site, however
for a small period underground connection work
will be carried out and works will be required
outside the site. Advance notification will be
provided to the community for any additional
impacts. The project team will make every effort
to minimise the impact on the land.
ALBERT RD & FERRARS ST
SOUTH MELBOURNE
TRAM POWER
UPGRADE PROJECT
A tree management plan will be in place
during construction to minimise the impact on
surrounding vegetation. Any impact to the land
outside the site area will be remedied once
works are complete.
Traffic
Residents can expect construction vehicles
moving through the local area. At times
temporary lane closures and footpath closures
will be required. Traffic controllers will be present
to help minimise disruption to motorists and
pedestrians. Please look for warning signage and
follow the direction of traffic controllers. Please
note the footpath and underpass next to the site
will remain open. Advance notification will be
provided if a closure is required.
As a follow up from the letter delivered to properties on Monday 4 January 2016,
Public Transport Victoria (PTV) would like to notify you about the commencement
of construction works.
PTV and Yarra Trams are building a new tram power substation on the corner of
Albert Rd & Ferrars St, South Melbourne. These power upgrade works are part
of the Victorian Government’s $800 million investment in new trams and modern
infrastructure to help cater for the future demand of Melbourne’s tram network.
Minimising disruptions
During this time residents can expect to hear
construction related noise. Our workers will
be mindful of keeping noise to a minimum and
respecting the needs of the local community.
TIMING
PTV and Yarra Trams are committed to keeping
the local community informed of construction
activity and progress. We thank you for your
patience and understanding during this
important upgrade work.
Early work has commenced on site and will be completed over a seven
month period. The majority of work will be carried out during the day.
