2. When considering landscape designs, mature plants or trees must not grow in
excess of 3.5 metres in height and maintain a sufficient buffer at boundary to
minimise overhang into the adjoining substation site. Please visit

plants for a full list of safetrees plants.
3. The proposed development should ensure that stormwater and drainage are
managed to ensure no worsening to adjoining electrical infrastructure.
Any further works should be in accordance with Energex Standard Guidelines OH03/12
for general conditions when considering works either on an Energex easement or in the
vicinity of Energex assets. These are attached for your reference.

Standard Guidelines OH-03/12
When considering Works, either on Energex easements or in the vicinity of Energex
assets, please be aware of the following general conditions:
Satisfactory clearance from your proposed structure to the existing (and/or future)
electricity wires must be maintained in accordance with the Electrical Safety
Regulations 2002.
No civil works are to occur within 5 metres of any part of an ENERGEX Structure (e.g.-
tower base, pole or stay) without Energex approval.
If the minimum 5m horizontal separation to the Energex structure cannot be achieved,
the Developer must consult Energex with regards to allowable construction methods.
This may include full depth shoring of the excavation sides for a minimum of 5 metres
either side of the structure.
Any excavations deeper than 5m must have a minimum horizontal separation from the
excavation to any tower, base or pole at least equal to the excavation depth. The
excavation is not to be left open overnight and backfill is to be compacted in 150mm
layers in the immediate vicinity of the structure.
10 metres clear access must be provided around all towers and pole structures after
the completion of any works on the easement.
Natural ground level on the easement should not be disturbed without Energex
approval.
Final ground levels should slope gently to the edge of the easement, surrounding area
or kerb such that pooling of water on the easement is avoided and conductor ground
clearances are not decreased.
Stockpiling of spoil on the easement is prohibited.
Proposed underground services such as stormwater, sewerage, water and the like are
to be kept to the outer edge of the easement. Services crossing the easement should
be as near as practicable to right angles to the overhead conductor direction and not
within 10 metres of any tower, pole or stay. Pipelines and crossings are to be clearly
marked. Please submit the relevant design drawings to the Principal Mains Design
Engineer for review.
The identification, assessment and mitigation of any possible hazards in the service
due to electromagnetically induced voltages, is the responsibility of the Developer.
Any cut in the vicinity of a structure or between a structure and the road kerb will need
to be stabilised by a retaining wall. The retaining wall design and location is to be
submitted to Energex for approval.
Any costs incurred by Energex as a result of the works on the easement are to be met
by the property Developer / owner.
Access to the easement and access along the easement must be available to Energex
personnel, including vegetation crews and regular routine line inspection crews, and
heavy equipment, such as Heavy Trucks, Machinery and Cranes for construction,
maintenance and emergency services, at all times.

Existing access tracks must be re-instated, repaired or maintained if they are damaged
during construction or other activities.
Energex will require the Developer / owner to supply and install gates where fencing
prohibits access to and along the easement area. To enable travel along the easement
at anytime the gates must be series locked with an Energex padlock. Both the padlock
and a design drawing of an acceptable gate will be provided by Energex.
Lighting structures are not permitted in the easement without prior written consent of
Energex. Lighting designs for proposed developments (e.g. road, carparks etc) on the
easement are likely to require reduced height structures. Please submit detailed design
to Energex for approval. These drawings must clearly show the following;
a. Proposed height of the lighting structures and the ground level at the
structure base,
b. Relative (to lighting structures) ground levels at Energex structures (towers,
pole etc) either side of the lighting structures, and
c. The location of the Energex structures in relation to the proposed lighting
Pools and structures (including lighting structures) or metal fences are not
permitted to be installed on or near Energex easement without prior approval or
notification.
Rubbish, materials and / or tall equipment such as cranes and excavators are
not permitted to be stored or used on the easement.
Excavations or mounding of material under or close to conductors or Energex
structures is not permitted.
Energex must be notified of construction on or near the easement, conductors
or structures prior to commencement of construction.
All construction work must be clear of the easement unless construction risk
hazard is identified. High voltage clearances must be maintained prior to
construction commencing.
Warning signs may be required during and after construction.
Consideration must be given to the type of vegetation planted in Park Areas
within and near the Energex easement. Any proposal for landscaping on the
easement must have prior approval from Energex. Please submit the relevant
landscaping design to Principal Mains Design Engineer for approval. When
considering landscape designs the planting of trees must be kept to the edges of
the easement and not under any overhead conductors. When mature, plants or
trees must not grow in excess of 3.5 metres in height. If pertinent the Energex
Guide to “Powerline Friendly Plants” will be enclosed, please refer to this Guide for
recommended species.
At all times the following clearance must be maintained from the top of any
machinery moving in the vicinity of energised conductors:
132kV and 110kV conductors – 4.5m minimum clearance
33kV and 11kV conductors – 3m minimum clearance

Should it be necessary to transport equipment or extend any equipment, such that these
clearances cannot be confidently maintained, you are required to contact our office to
ascertain whether a Safety Officer is required on–site. All operators of machinery are to be
made aware of the presence of high voltage conductors.
All easement conditions must be maintained.
All previous conditions must be adhered to and Energex may, at its discretion,
audit the finished development to check that it conforms to the conditions of the
development.
Detailed civil design drawings showing any proposed cut and fill levels on the
easement and the location of the Energex assets in relation to the proposed
development must be approved by Energex before any works can commence
on site.
