SUMMARY
energyAustralia is proposing to undertake repair works to the suspended concrete roadway which
forms part of the adjoining substation and requires a short term lease over the depot site near the
upgrading works for the storage of sheds, containers, skips and for parking. No construction type
activities would be undertaken on the land and no hazardous materials would be utilised on the site.
The proposed lease period is not expected to exceed four (4) months, however, in the event of
unforeseen delays an additional month to month option is to be provided for in the lease.
It is recommended that Council approve a four (4) month lease to energyAustralia over a portion of
the Suakin Street depot site. The lease is to include monthly options.
