Development services

Building a new connection or need power for a subdivision? 

CitiPower and Powercor offer two ways to get your development connected to the network. 

We classify development work as either non-contestable or contestable, depending on who's able to carry it out. Choose the pathway that matches your project below.

 

Non-contestable worksConstestable works
We design and build your connectionManage delivery yourself with an accredited contractor

For developers who need:

  • a new electricity supply
  • an asset relocation
  • or an abolishment for their project. 

We manage the design and construction of your connection under a Negotiated Connection Contract, Standard Development Services Contract, or Recoverable Works Contract.

For developers delivering their own subdivision or estate infrastructure using a recognised contractor for design and construction.

CitiPower and Powercor handle the non-contestable elements:

  • approvals
  • network augmentation
  • tie-ins to the existing network.
Best for: single connections, temporary or permanent supply, asset relocations, street lighting for individual developments.Best for: greenfield subdivisions, industrial/commercial estates, projects where you want to self-manage delivery with your own contractor.
