When Is a Private Power Pole Required?
A private pole can be required where the electricity supply needs an additional connection point between the network and the home.
This can occur where a property sits further back from the street, where the site layout makes a direct service impractical, or where a new build or renovation changes the existing electricity supply arrangement.
A new pole can also be required when an older private pole needs replacement or when an electricity connection is being relocated around a driveway, extension, secondary dwelling or redevelopment.
Power Poles NSW can assess the proposed location, equipment access, electrical supply, ground conditions and connection requirements before recommending the installation pathway.
For broader NSW service information, see our existing Private Power Pole Installation page.
New Home and Renovation Power Pole Installation
Need a private power pole installed in Sydney for a new home, renovation, property upgrade or electricity connection?
Building or substantially renovating a Sydney home can change how electricity needs to enter the property.
A private power pole may form part of the new electrical design, providing a connection point between the electricity network and the home.
Power Poles NSW can coordinate specialist pole installation with associated overhead and underground connection works.
If the site needs electricity during construction before permanent supply is complete, we also provide temporary builders power.
What Is Involved in Installing a Private Power Pole?
Good installation starts with understanding the site rather than simply choosing a location and drilling a hole.
We consider the proposed pole position, existing electricity infrastructure, truck and equipment access, ground conditions, electrical clearances and the connection the pole needs to support.
Once the works are planned, our specialist equipment can assist with drilling the foundation, lifting the pole and positioning it accurately.
Where accredited electrical works are required, these can be coordinated through our Level 2 electrical solutions.

Private Power Pole Relocation and Connection Options in Sydney
An existing private power pole may be relocated for a driveway, renovation, granny flat or redevelopment, with the electricity supply then configured through an overhead or underground connection where suitable.
Can an Existing Private Power Pole Be Relocated?
Yes, depending on its condition and the electrical connection. Private poles often need to move when homeowners widen driveways, construct extensions, add a granny flat, subdivide or change access around the property.
View projectsOverhead or Underground Connection From the Pole?
The private pole can form part of different supply arrangements depending on the property and approved connection pathway. Some homes use an overhead service from the pole, while others use the private pole as a transition point before the supply continues underground towards the building.
