Pole maintenance tips
- You can contribute to the life of a pole and assist in the inspection process by carrying out regular weed and bush removal around its base
- Keep vegetation a minimum of 3 metres from overhead powerlines. Vegetation management should only be undertaken by an authorised contractor who can work in close proximity to powerlines
- Look for any problems relating to the pole such as significant leaning, nuts and bolts missing, steelwork hanging loosely, wires too close to the ground or broken insulators and wires, and arrange repairs immediately
