General Advice:
Compliance with the Electrical Safety Act 2002, including any Code of Practice
under the Act and the Electrical safety Regulation 2013 including any safety
exclusion zones defined in the Regulation is mandatory
Should any doubt exist in maintaining the prescribed clearance to the overhead
conductors and electrical infrastructure then the applicant is obliged under the
Act to seek advice from Energex.
Any costs incurred by Energex as a result of the works on the easement are to
be met by the property Developer / owner.
This response does not constitute an approval to commence any works within
the easement. Consent to commence works relevant to the conditions of the
easement is required. All works on easement (including but not limited to
earthworks, drainage and detention basins, road construction, underground and
overhead services installation) require detailed submissions, assessment, and
consent (or otherwise) by Energex.
All works proposed to be undertaken in close proximity to overhead or
underground electrical lines are to be undertaken in accordance with Energex’s
Works Practice Manual WP1323. This document refers to various standards,
guidelines, calculations, legal requirements, technical details, and other
information relevant to working near high voltage infrastructure. A copy of
