AusNet has announced that they are installing quick generator connection points in Emerald and Cockatoo on Friday 18 October.

The company will also be modifying the network to ensure the services that are important to the community will be within the area supplied by the generator. This includes Emerald SES and Cockatoo’s Telstra exchange which will enable some mobile coverage.

AusNet will be doing planned works on the nature strip outside Ritchies on Belgrave-Gembrook Road on Monday 21 and Thursday 24 October during the day.

Night work will commence on Saturday 19 October and Saturday 26 October. There will be traffic management on Belgrave-Gembrook Road.
