David Jones Substation Upgrade Gawler Place
October 2024
What we’re doing
We are upgrading equipment at our substation located in the sub-basement of Rundle Mall Plaza on Gawler Place. These upgrades aim to improve the reliability of the local electricity supply. We will remove and replace an existing transformer and associated electrical equipment. The construction activities will be contained within the substation.
How this affects you
We have already started construction activities and will continue until late October 2024. The majority of work will be carried out between 7am and 4pm from Monday to Friday. Some work may be conducted on weekends and at night between 8pm and 5am. Work hours will comply with council restrictions. You may notice SA Power Networks vehicles and approved contractor vehicles parked outside the substation door on Gawler Place. We will have traffic and pedestrian safety measures in place.
Power outages
The Rundle Mall Plaza building and its tenancies will experience a power interruption overnight on Saturday 26 October from 7pm until 7am on 27 October while our crews are working.
