A spokesperson for Shane Rattenbury has been in touch to say the lights are going to be back on in Garema Place tonight.
ActewAGL have located the fault that is immersed in an underground chamber that ActewAGL uses for its cable runs. This chamber is full of water and is a confined space.
To fix this they need to hydro vac a new trench from another light and run a new cable. This work has commenced but is not finished so there is temporary fencing erected to protect the work site.
They’ve since informed us the work is complete.
The issue was, we are told, unrelated to the lights being out in other car parks.
Who can be trusted?
