Private power poles are privately-owned power poles within a property’s boundary that carry the overhead powerlines to someone’s home and any sheds, pumps or other buildings on their property.
Privately-owned poles can be wooden poles or metal poles, but are predominately located on properties that lack underground power supply and require support power lines to be supplied to the property overhead.
The maintenance of private power poles is the responsibility of a property owner. Poles located outside the property boundary are usually the responsibility of the Energex electricity network and can be identified by a unique number on the side of the pole.

Property power poles and their corresponding transmission lines should be checked by a licenced electrician at least every five years.
