Request for Amended Advice Agency Response_Energex_Council CDA_01-04-2020

Response: Please find attached the revised proposal plan, drawing no. M1775‐13F – Sheets 1 to 6 dated 26th March,
2020, which has been amended to provide a perpendicular road crossing within the electrical easement.

An on‐ground survey has been undertaken to confirm the vertical and horizontal clearances from the existing
electricity infrastructure within proximity of the proposed lots. Please find enclosed plan of Powerline Ground
Clearances drawing no. M1775‐20A dated 29th January, 2020.

The detailed operational works development works will comply with the necessary clearances in accordance with
the Electrical Safety Regulations 2013 and Energex’s Distribution Earthing Manual regarding clearances to
transmission structures. We consider that Energex can revise the advice conditions to be consistent with these
standards where applicable. We note that the revised design layout has sufficient clearance to the electrical
infrastructure well in excess of minimum requirements.

Item 2 – Prudent Avoidance

  Prudent Avoidance
  The Applicant is to provide an EMF Report prepared by a suitably qualified professional, which as a minimum,
  addresses the following points:
       Current and future levels of EMF at the common boundary of Easement B on RP177295 and any
          proposed lots;
       Compliance to applicable standards for EMF with reference to ARPANSA and other international
          standards; and
       Practical measures to reduce EMF to demonstrate the concept of prudent avoidance
  Note: the subdivision plan is to be amended to incorporate any recommendations of the EMF Report.

Response: Please find attached an Electromagnetic Field (EMF) report prepared by J &P Richardson Industries Pty
Ltd, which has addressed the above points. No further setbacks or other practical measures are necessary based on
J & P Richardson’s assessment.

We trust the above and enclosed information satisfactorily addresses Energex’s request for further information and
request that an Amended Advice Agency Response can be issued in support of the proposed subdivision layout at
your earliest convenience.
