Marayong Zone Substation
Endeavour Energy has approved plans to replace the existing outdoor Marayong Zone Substation with a new indoor facility to maintain a safe and reliable electricity supply to Marayong and surrounding suburbs.
Overview
The project involves:
- construction of a new 33/11kV indoor ZS building to accommodate indoor switchgear and facilities
- replacement of existing transformers with new low noise transformers within new enclosures
- re-configuration of the existing feeder connections into the new ZS as required
- decommissioning and demolition of the existing outdoor ZS, including the control building and outdoor switchyard, after the new ZS is commissioned
- remediation of the existing ZS site and landscaping
The need
Many of the components within the zone substations have reached the end of their service lives and require renewal or replacement. This will ensure a safe and reliable electricity to the suburbs of Marayong, Kings Park, Kings Langley and Lalor Park.
The location
Marayong Zone Substation is at the corner of Raymond Street and Charles Street, Blacktown.
Review of Environmental Factors
Endeavour Energy, as the determining authority, completed a draft Review of Environmental Factors (REF) under Part 5 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979.

Public submissions received were considered as part of the environmental assessment process.
The project was approved in April 2018.
The Notice of Determination below outlines the approval of construction subject to several construction and environmental management criteria designed to mitigate the environmental impact of the project.
