Green domes (also known as green pillars) are mainly found in areas with underground power, in front of your house, in parks/reserves, or on roadsides. They're important as they house the electrical wiring that supplies power to your property so you can enjoy a grid-powered lifestyle.

They're tough and provide a high level of protection to the wiring inside, however it's important to know that a damaged green dome is as dangerous as a fallen powerline. If you have a cracked or broken green dome on your property or in the community, stay at least eight metres away and report it to us immediately on 13 13 51.
