Trees and powerlines
Trees and powerlines
Trees growing near powerlines can create serious risks, from power outages to bushfires, particularly during storms and periods of extreme weather.
This page explains what we're doing to manage trees and other vegetation around the electricity network, and what property owners need to know about keeping trees and branches clear of powerlines safely.
If you need work done within the Tree No Go Zone or need to confirm that vegetation clearance work has been completed and meets requirements, the relevant request and compliance forms are also linked here.
