    Advice to Council and the Applicant
1. Powerlink have assessed the awning/shelter structure and determined that it is not permitted in its current
   location on the easement. Consequently, it has been excluded from our referral response. Powerlink's
   preference is to remove or relocate the structure to the side of the easement at such time as the vacant easement
   is required for future transmission purposes.

    Unfortunately, Powerlink have been unable to reach a feasible arrangement with the applicant that will uphold the
    relocation or removal of the structure should ownership change prior to the removal being requested by
    Powerlink. Until such time as a resolution can be reached, the structure will be recorded as an unapproved co-
    use development of the transmission easement.

2. Should any doubt exist in maintaining the prescribed clearance to electrical infrastructure the applicant is obliged
   under the Electrical Safety Act 2002 to seek advice from Powerlink.
3. In order for Powerlink to maintain and operate a safe and reliable supply of electricity, we require unrestricted 24-
   hour access to our corridors and infrastructure.

    We will require practical access (typically by 4WD vehicle – but to standard no less than existing) to the Powerlink
    structures.

    If it is envisaged that there will be any interference or alteration to our current access arrangements prior, during
    or after the completion of your works, we require that the applicant contacts our Works Control Manager
    Easements (Mr Ehren Wittmer – ph 0418 233 916) to formalise unrestricted 24-hour access arrangements.
