Storm damage support

Private pole support after storms, impact and property damage

Power Poles NSW helps property owners, builders and project teams respond to private power pole damage caused by storms, fallen branches, impact, fire, flooding and severe weather events.

When a private pole or overhead supply has been damaged, the job often needs more than a quick replacement. The site may need to be made safe, the pole condition assessed, the damage documented and the replacement works coordinated with any required Level 2 electrical steps. The team can help assess the situation, explain the next move and carry out the required pole works
