7. EASEMENTS
All terms and conditions of the easement are to be observed. Note that the easement
takes precedence over all subsequent registered easement documents. Copies of the
easement together with the plan of the Easement can be purchased from the
Department of Environment & Resource Management.

8. EXPENDITURE AND COST RECOVERY
Should Powerlink incur costs as a result of the applicant's proposal, all costs shall be
recovered from the applicant.

Where Powerlink expects such costs to be in excess of $10 000.00, advanced
payments may be requested.

9. EXPLOSIVES
Blasting within the vicinity (500 metres) of Powerlink infrastructure must comply with
AS 2187. Proposed blasting within 100 metres of Powerlink infrastructure must be
referred to Powerlink for a detailed assessment.

10, BURNING OFF OR THE LIGHTING OF FIRES
We strongly recommend that fires not be lit or permitted to burn within the transmission
line corridor and in the vicinity of any electrical infrastructure placed on the land. Due
to safety risks Powerlink’s written approval should be sort.

11, GROUND LEVEL VARIATIONS

Overhead Conductors

Changes in ground level must not reduce statutory ground to conductor
clearance distances as prescribed by the Electrical Safety Act 2013 and the
Electrical Safety Regulations 2013.

Underground Cables
Any change to the ground level above installed underground cable is not permitted
without express written agreement of Powerlink.

12. VEGETATION

Vegetation planted within an easement must not exceed 3.5 metres in height when fully
matured. Powerlink reserves the right to remove vegetation to ensure the safe
operation of the transmission line and, where necessary, to maintain access to
infrastructure.

13. INDEMNITY

Any use of the Easement by the applicant in a way which is not permitted under the
easement and which is not strictly in accordance with Powerlink's prior written approval
is an unauthorised use. Powerlink is not liable for personal injury or death or for
property loss or damage resulting from unauthorized use. If other parties make
damage claims against Powerlink as a result of unauthorized use then Powerlink
reserves the right to recover those damages from the applicant.
