How old is your private powerline?
NZ rural distribution networks were largely built during the 1950s–1970s rural electrification period, meaning much of today’s private infrastructure is now 40–70+ years old.
Is your private powerline high enough?
Low Voltage Power lines must be 5.5m above driveways or 5.0m above any other land where a vehicle could traverse.
How close are your trees?
The minimum safe distance that vegetation must be clear of low voltage power lines, even during storms or high wind is 0.5m.
