Alderbury Street - Underground Power - Town of Claremont Proposal

The City at a Special Meeting on 16 August 2016 received a report in relation to a proposal for underground power by the Town of Cambridge which includes properties on the municipal boundary of Alderbury Street, Floreat. This proposal has proceeded to the next stage which is to undertake a community survey. The community survey is the next step in determining whether the installation of underground power proceeds to the next stage.

The Council resolved as follows:

"Council supports Option 1 with the City contributing 2/9ths and the Town of Cambridge be requested to fund the difference/impact. Survey of residents to the same cost at $6,200 per property for both Nedlands and Cambridge residents."


Breakdown of costs between the stakeholders based on the estimate of $12,400
per lot for Alderbury Street residents (Nedlands side) would be:

City of Nedlands

22.2%

$2,753

Alderbury St residents (Nedlands)

50.0%

$6,200

Western Power

10.0%

$1,240
