It also houses two high-voltage electricity transmission cables running through tunnels. The site is surrounded by a perimeter of trees, creating a forested area around the gas works, gas holders, and tanks.

The site is bordered by the Channelsea River to the North, Bow Creek to the West, Twelve Trees Crescent and a subway to the South (generally in the west-east direction), and Crows Road to the East.
