Overview
On acreage, battle-axe blocks and properties with sheds or second dwellings, private overhead lines carry power from the connection point to each building.
We repair, replace and upgrade private lines so they meet clearance rules and stay reliable in storms.
Who owns the lines
Beyond the connection point, overhead lines running across your property to the house, sheds or other buildings are private. Maintaining them, and the poles that carry them, is the owner's responsibility.
Repair, replace or underground
We re-tension and repair sagging lines, replace damaged conductors and fittings, and replace poles. For long runs through trees, converting to underground is often the most reliable long-term fix.
Defect notices
Networks inspect private lines and issue defect notices for low clearance, vegetation and damage. We fix the defect and notify the network.
