Powerline clearance
Powerline clearance is carried out by contractors working for Energy Australia.
In general, one-metre clearance is required around service lines running from the street to private properties, and 1.5-metre clearance is required around the lines running along the street, plus allowance for one year's regrowth.
In the case of Aerial Bundled Cables, which is the single thick bundled wire used in some areas of North Sydney, the required clearance is reduced to 0.5 metre at pruning time with small twigs allowed to touch the wire between pruning events.
