If you are concerned about a possible low spanning powerline, please fill in the below details and we'll arrange an evaluation.

⚠️ For urgent situations involving low or fallen powerlines that present an immediate risk to public safety, do not submit a powerline span height enquiry. Instead, contact Essential Energy immediately on 13 20 80 so the issue can be prioritised and responded to by field crews without delay.

Span height enquiries are not monitored for emergency response and are intended for general information requests only; any hazards to people, property or access require immediate reporting via the emergency hotline.

Powerline span height enquiries are intended for general information only and should not be used to seek advice relating to proposed building works or development near Essential Energy infrastructure.

This information outlines the processes and safety considerations necessary to ensure developments do not impact the safe operation or maintenance of the network or pose risks to the community.
