Using equipment and vehicles around high-voltage transmission towers and lines can be dangerous.

Make sure you know the safe height clearance of overhead powerlines on your property.

Proposed transmission lines

If your property is in the proposed Western Renewables Link corridor, visit Western Renewables Link.

Existing transmission lines

Before working near our transmission assets, you’ll need approval from our Line Assets Easements Group. You must not use vehicles and equipment, such as cranes, excavators and elevated working platforms, under our existing transmission lines if they exceed 3 metres in operating height.

A higher operating height limit can be possible, but this depends on sufficient clearances to the conductors and requires a ‘Permit to Work Adjacent to Exposed High Voltage Electrical Apparatus’. To apply for this or any other permit to work under transmission lines, email PTW@ausnetservices.com.au.

For any other transmission network enquiries or complaints, please email lmg@ausnetservices.com.au or call 1300 360 795.
