< BackWhat will happen to the existing Western Power switchyard terminal?
- Category: Cockburn Coast FAQs
The South Fremantle Switchyard Terminal represents significant infrastructure for the region and has been in operation for a number of years. It is anticipated as part of the overall redevelopment that the switchyard terminal will be relocated to enable the Power Station precinct vision to be achieved.
Options have been explored to relocate the switchyard terminal within the Hilltop precinct using Gas Insulated technology. This allows for much of the facility to be housed within a building as opposed to open air as it is currently. Further investigations will be pursued as part of the Power Station planning process.
