Close Approach Consent Application Form

Follow the four (4) metre rule: All work activity must be kept “AT LEAST 4.0 METRES” from overhead lines. If you need to work closer to our overhead lines you must get a Close Approach Consent Certificate. It takes a minimum of at least five (5) working days to process this consent.

Do not dig within five (5) metres of one of our power poles without a Close Approach Consent Certificate. Depending on the depth of excavations, you may need additional pole supports to prevent poles collapsing. We can advise you and will provide supervision in some cases.

To apply for a Close Approach Consent, please fill in the form below and submit.

Please fill out all fields to avoid delays.
