Look Up and Live

Put safety first and use the Look Up and Live app. 

It’s free, simple to use and can help you to safely plan work around powerlines in your area. 

Why look up and live?

Risks are caused by not only having direct contact with overhead electrical assets but also metal objects coming within clearance zones that electrical currents can arc across so take extra care if your work involves: 

  • Using tall machinery such as cranes or augers 
  • Driving high vehicles 
  • Raising the tipper tray of trucks 
  • Raising equipment such as irrigation pipes overhead 
  • Climbing on top of machinery or storage silos. 

The Look Up and Live app is available to download on the Apple App Store and Google Play. 

You can also visit the Look up and Live website. to view an interactive map of overhead powerlines locations.

No Go Zones

No Go Zones are designed to keep workers and the public a safe distance from electrical assets. Contractors must apply for permits for any work that needs to take place within a No Go Zone.

Powerline safety markers

When working near overhead powerlines, visibility is key to staying safe. Installing powerline safety markers helps to enhance safety by alerting pilots, crane operators, and other personnel of potential electrical hazards.

Before you dig

Any project, small or large, has the potential to damage underground assets, leading to power outages delays and in the worst-case scenario, injury or death. Obtaining asset information from Before You Dig significantly minimises these risks
