MINISTER FOR URBAN SERVICES
LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION
QUESTION NO 1157
ACTEW - Cook Substation Work-
Mr Westende - asked the Minister for Urban Services:
(1) Why, at 7:00 am on Saturday, li December 1994, there was an ACTEW crew working
on the substation in Templeton Street, Cook.
(2) What was the nature of that work.
(3) How long did the work take to complete.
(4) What was the total number of crew members working on the substation that morning.
(5) Why was the work carried out on a Saturday, thereby incurring penalty rates, rather than during normal business hours, ie, between the hours of 8:30 am and 5:00pm, Monday to Friday.
Mr Connolly - the answer to the Member's question is as follows:
(1) ACTEW was augmenting the substation located in Templeton Street, Cook to enable it to meet an increase in electrical demand.
(2) The work entailed:
upgrading the existing transformer from 250 kVA to 500 kVA to cater for the increased electrical load;
removing the existing low voltage switchboard, as it had insufficient space for installing an upgraded service for the new Assemblies of God church development on block 19, section 13, Cook; installing a new low Voltage switchboard; remarking five low voltage cable terminations on to this new board;
installing and repositioning new high voltage switchgear, so as to create sufficient space for the new low voltage switchboard;
repositioning high voltage cables onto the new high voltage switchgear which involved extending the high voltage cables by a subsequent 10 metres, and making two high voltage straight through joints and two high voltage cable end terminations; and
providing a new upgraded electricity supply to the Assemblies of God church development, and installing 30 metres of low voltage cable. 515
