Road closures along Upper Stuart Street
12 January 2026The project will run from 19 January to 20 February. Temporary road closures and traffic management will be required throughout this project.
On Tuesday 27 January and Friday 13 February, traffic lights near the Methodist Mission Southern building (located on the corner of Upper Stuart Street and Smith Street) may be affected while crews work on nearby infrastructure. Remedial work is planned with Downer to minimise potential disruption.
From Thursday 29 January to Sunday 1 February, the left lane of Upper Stuart Street when heading up the hill (between the Octagon and Moray Place) will be closed from 7:00am Thursday to 7:00pm Sunday. Please allow extra time and follow detour signs.
There will be an increase in the number of vehicles in the area during this time as the work is completed, and traffic management will be in place. Aurora Energy asks that everyone please factor in additional travel time, and please obey all traffic management signs and instructions.
A single power outage will be required for this project on Monday 26 January. Affected customers have been spoken with directly and will also receive formal outage notifications from their electricity retailer.
Aurora Energy thanks customers and those in the CBD for their patience while this important work is being carried out.
