Gas renewals works in CBD

APA Group operates and maintains the gas network in the north eastern suburbs of Melbourne, including the Melbourne CBD, on behalf of Australian Gas Networks (AGN).

Together, APA and Comdain Infrastructure are currently undertaking a Mains Replacement Program (MRP). This program will see the Melbourne CBD undergo construction works in most of the streets to enable replacement of affected mains and services.

The Melbourne CBD Gas MRP will deliver a safer and more efficient gas network. The replacement of cast iron, ductile iron and steel pipes with equivalent polyethylene pipes will both reduce the safety risks and lower the maintenance costs associated with these aging assets.

The project is bounded by Spring St, Flinders St, Spencer St and La Trobe St (all inclusive).Project execution is planned to span ~4 years from June 2019 to completion in December 2022.

In order to ensure restaurants and businesses have uninterrupted gas supply during their main trading hours and minimal disruption to traffic throughout the busy Melbourne CBD, this project will require night-works to complete. We thank residents and businesses for their cooperation whilst we upgrade the gas network.
