The Department of Transport and Planning is planning to increase the power supply on Route 109. Upgrading the tram power supply will lead to smoother rides and reduce sudden stops.
A tram substation will be built in the rail reserve near the tram line and Bridge Street. The Department wants to design and develop the substation in a way that:
- fits with the character of the local area
- uses landscaping, where possible, to integrate the facility in its setting.
- minimises environmental impacts.
- provides broader community benefits, where possible
- minimises construction impacts to local businesses, residents, public transport users and commuters.
