A private Power Pole is the pole on your property that carries the electricity supply from the street to your home or business, and it's the property owner's responsibility to maintain, not Western Power's. Western Power maintains the network up to the point of supply, but once a pole is on private property, it's the owner's legal responsibility to keep it safe and replace it when it's flagged.

When power pole replacement is triggered:

  • A Western Power defect notice identifying the pole as unsafe, ageing, or deteriorating
  • The property owner noticing visible damage, rot, or instability

Either way, it becomes time sensitive once flagged, since Western Power can disconnect power supply until the pole is made safe.

Nexus Electrical Co manages private power pole replacement across Perth end to end, including the Western Power coordination and approvals that come with it. Once approvals are confirmed, the physical replacement itself is typically a one to two day job, though the full process including notifications and sign off can take longer depending on the property and pole condition. A fixed quote is provided before work begins, and where practical, the opportunity can also be used to convert the supply to underground.

They were very friendly and listened carefully to what we said. In my place, we had an ongoing issue of water leakage in the shower for so long, however, it is now fixed permanantly. They also showed to me the actual issue and how they fixed it and that was the best part of thier service.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

0
2
How long does power pole replacement take?

The physical replacement is typically completed within one to two days once approvals are confirmed, though the wider process including Western Power coordination can take longer.

0
3
What happens if I receive a Western Power defect notice?

Notices typically allow 30 to 90 days to have the pole replaced, depending on its condition.

0
4
What happens if I don't replace a flagged pole in time?

Power supply can be disconnected until the pole is made safe, so acting within the notice period matters.

0

Can the pole be converted to underground supply during replacement?

Often yes, this can be assessed and included as part of the same project where practical.

0
6
How do I know if my power pole needs replacing?

Will I lose power while the pole is being replaced?

Temporary arrangements are managed during the works to minimise disruption, with supply restored once the new pole is connected and signed off.
