Accessing electricity assets on private property

Our representatives carry out their work respectfully and responsibly. We provide them information and training to ensure they understand their responsibilities when attending private properties.

While it’s not always possible or practical for us to provide advance notice before entering your property, we make every effort to do so where we can.

Our staff and contractors will:

• present identification on request
• treat property with care and respect
• leave sites safe and secure
• comply with biosecurity measures and sign-in requirements.

During emergencies involving safety risks or power outages, we may need to enter properties quickly without notice. Even in these cases, we will continue to follow the access procedures outlined above wherever possible.

Landowners have a role to play allowing quick and safe access to electricity assets on their property. These steps include:

• Keep easement areas clear – Don’t plant trees, build structures or store materials over or near powerlines and underground cables.
• Maintain clear access – Ensure gates and routes to equipment remain accessible.
• Inform us of requirements – Advise of locked gates, security alarms or pets.
• Secure animals – Prevent animals from causing harm.

Email info@powercor.com.au to provide any access requirements for your property so our crews arrive prepared.
