After our technical assessment
we’ll contact you to discuss your requirements and work with you on an expected delivery date in line with the complexity of your project.
Due to the current economic conditions, we are experiencing a high volume of distribution grid connection and relocation applications as well as seeing the delivery timeframes for some materials items significantly extended. This has resulted in longer timeframes for products and services.
What to include with your application
-
A site plan
Provides us with an understanding of your work site, the location of existing and new assets and help us to design your product. It will need to include:
- Your property
- Neighbouring properties
- The location of the supply point
Site plan for move or removing a pole
For a site plan to be accepted, it must clearly show:
- clearly-marked lot/house numbers where available
street names and any nearest cross road/s - location of proposed streetlight/s, distance/s from lot boundaries OR GIS coordinates (longitude and latitude) offset from side boundaries
- pole number/s for existing poles or clearly marked location of new poles to be installed.
Creating a site plan using maps or satellite images
An easy way to create a site plan is to use a online mapping service like Google Maps. Just take a screen shot of the address and then label the requirements on it.
-
Site photos
Help us understand your current connection arrangements and more easily identify potential site-specific issues. Photos will need to include:
- The extent of the worksite
- Any obstructions in the area
-
Neighbours authority
If your project will impact your neighbour’s property by having new assets installed or relocated on or in front of their property, you’ll need their authorisation.
-
Local government authority
If the pole you wish to remove/relocate has a streetlight on it you need to get local government approval before applying.
