Underground power works are now underway on Oxford Street between Anzac Road and Scarborough Beach Road in Mt Hawthorn. 

Businesses remain open during these essential works, with traffic management in place to help maintain access and keep disruption to a minimum. Work is planned to be complete by the end of June.  

Vincent is encouraging people to continue visiting and supporting their favourite shops, cafes and services on this section of Oxford Street during construction. Street parking will be closed in small sections for up to two days at a time before works move along the street, ensuring enough parking remains available for visitors. Bus stops will also be impacted for a short time. 

The project will replace overhead powerlines with underground power infrastructure and new LED streetlights, delivering long-term benefits including a more reliable power supply, fewer weather-related outages, improved streetscapes and greater opportunities for tree canopy growth.
