    Perth started burying their lines in the 90s. It was supposed to take 30 years. Last I heard, they’re about half done.

      Yeah i was in high school in perth in the 90s so i remember poles disappearing.

      Perth has expanded massively in the last 10-15 years, i’m not surprised initial estimates were way off. Or even less surprised than normal since i believe every single infrastructure project in history has been late and overbudget.
