Important upcoming works in West Coolup

The Shire of Murray hereby gives notice Western Power will be carrying out essential work in West Coolup and surrounding areas. A number of planned outages will be required from November 2024 through to March 2025 to enable Western Power crews to complete these upgrades safely.

Impacted residents and businesses will be notified by Western Power up to 10 business days prior to each planned outage. Please check your notifications carefully.

Project Overview

The scope of work is focused on strengthening the local network and includes:

  • 141 pole replacements.
  • 23.3 km of high-voltage conductor.
