   2. All easement conditions must be maintained.

   3. Satisfactory clearance from your proposed structure to the existing (and/or
      future) electricity wires must be maintained in accordance with the Electrical
      Safety Regulations 2013.

   4. 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.

   5. 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.

   6. 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;
               Proposed height of the lighting structures and the ground level at the
                  structure base,
               Relative (to lighting structures) ground levels at Energex structures
                  (towers, pole etc) either side of the lighting structures, and

                   The location of the Energex structures in relation to the proposed
                    lighting

    7. 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 Energex 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.

    8. 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

        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.

    9. Any proposal for landscaping on the easement must have prior approval from
       Energex. Please submit the relevant landscaping design to Energex 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 3.5meters in height.
       Please visit https://www.energex.com.au/home/safety/safety-around-the-
       network/safetree-plants for a full list of safetree plants.

Any further works should be in accordance with Energex Standard Guidelines MD-
03/12 for general conditions when considering works either on an Energex easement
or in the vicinity of Energex assets. These are attached for your reference.

ENERGEX Limited would like to advise that Noosa Council should treat this response
as a properly made submission, as per Section 292 (3) of the Sustainable Planning Act
2009.

                               Standard Guidelines MD-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 2013.

   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.

   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.

   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;
     Proposed height of the lighting structures and the ground level at the structure
         base,
     Relative (to lighting structures) ground levels at Energex structures (towers,
         pole etc) either side of the lighting structures, and
     The location of the Energex structures in relation to the proposed lighting

    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 Energex
    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 and heavy equipment at all times. 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.

   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.
