Legislative history

1—Short title

These regulations may be cited as the Electricity (Principles of Vegetation Clearance) Regulations 1996.

3—Interpretation

In these regulations, unless the contrary intention appears—

Act means the Electricity Act 1996;

buffer zone, in relation to an overhead powerline in the bushfire risk area or on private land in a non-bushfire risk area, means the space around the powerline that adjoins the clearance zone around that powerline, as shown in the diagrams in Schedule 1;

bushfire risk area means the part of the State shown in the maps in Schedule 3 as the bushfire risk area excluding the areas shown in those maps as non-bushfire risk areas;

centreline in relation to a powerline means—

(a)in the case of an underground powerline—

(i)that consists of a single conductor—an imaginary line on the ground directly above that conductor;

(ii)that consists of more than one conductor—an imaginary line on the ground above the powerline that is equidistant from the outer conductors,

as indicated by markers placed by an electricity entity on the ground above the powerline;

(b)in the case of an overhead powerline—

(i)that consists of a single conductor—an imaginary line on the ground directly beneath the position maintained by that conductor in still air;

(ii)that consists of more than one conductor—an imaginary line on the ground below the powerline that is equidistant from the positions maintained by the outer conductors in still air;

clearance zone means the space around an overhead powerline as shown in the diagrams in Schedule 1 (the values of V, H, B, S and P referred to in those diagrams being determined by reference to the tables in that Schedule);

non-bushfire risk area means a part of the State not within the bushfire risk area;

prescribed area—see regulation 3A;

public land means land other than private land;

span, in relation to an overhead powerline, means the part of the powerline that lies between two poles or other supports for that line.

3A—Prescribed areas

For the purposes of Part 5 of the Act and these regulations, each non-bushfire risk area (or portion of a non-bushfire risk area) that is shown on the map in Schedule 2A headed Portion of Greater Metropolitan Area of Adelaide showing Index to Prescribed Areas Map Sheets (and in more detail on the following 7 maps indexed on that map) is a prescribed area.

4—Private powerlines

For the purposes of the definition of private powerline in the Act, the prescribed voltage is 19kV.

5—General principles governing clearance by electricity entity or council

1. The principles of vegetation clearance set out in this regulation are prescribed for the purposes of Part 5 of the Act and govern the duty of an electricity entity or a council to clear vegetation from around powerlines.

2. Inspection and clearance of vegetation must take place at intervals of no longer than three years.

3. Vegetation must be cleared from within the clearance zone that surrounds the powerline as at the time of that clearance and beyond that zone so that—

   (a)no part of the vegetation is likely to bend into that zone in winds that might reasonably be expected in the area; and

   (b)no growth or regrowth of the vegetation is likely to intrude into that zone before the next scheduled inspection and clearance.

4. An electricity entity must not clear vegetation—

   (a)beyond the buffer zone (if any) around the powerline; nor

   (b)more than is reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this regulation and for the purposes of enhancing the appearance and ensuring the stability and health of any remaining vegetation.

5. However, an electricity entity may clear vegetation beyond those limits (but is not under any duty to do so) at the request of the occupier of the land on which the vegetation is situated.

6. A request under subregulation (5) does not authorise clearance of vegetation that would be contrary to the provisions of any other law if carried out by the occupier.

6—Agreement between occupier and electricity entity

1. An electricity entity may enter into an agreement with an occupier of private land under which—

   (a)vegetation around powerlines in a specified area of the land is to be inspected and cleared more frequently than required under regulation 5;

   (b)the occupier undertakes to carry out the required inspection and clearance of vegetation on that land on behalf of the entity.

2. The agreement—

   (a)must be in writing and executed by the occupier and the electricity entity; and

   (b)must specify—

   (i)the area concerned; and

   (ii)the intervals at which inspection and clearance must be carried out; and

   (iii)unless the occupier undertakes to carry out the inspections and clearance on behalf of the electricity entity—the payments agreed between the parties in respect of the costs of the additional work required under the agreement; and

   (c)may be varied or revoked by further written agreement between the parties; and

   (d)has effect, and may be enforced, as a contract between the electricity entity and the occupier.

7—Vegetation clearance scheme outside prescribed areas agreed between council and electricity entity

1. This regulation applies to public land in a non-bushfire risk area but not within a prescribed area.

2. An electricity entity may agree a vegetation clearance scheme with a council governing the way in which the entity will carry out its duty to clear vegetation in the area of the council or part of that area.

3. The factors that should be taken into consideration in formulating a scheme include the following:

   (a)the nature of the vegetation, including its expected rate of growth;

   (b)the impact that the clearance work would be likely to have on the amenity of the area;

   (c)the historical or biological significance (if any) of the vegetation;

   (d)the long term effect that the clearance work would be likely to have on the health and appearance of the vegetation;

   (e)the controls on the planting and nurturing of vegetation applicable in the area;

   (f)the need to prevent damage to the powerlines and interruption to the supply of electricity and to safeguard the public against electric shock and damage to property;

   (g)the extent and frequency of past vegetation clearance in the area;

   (h)whether requirements with respect to vegetation clearance and the planting and nurturing of vegetation have been complied with in the area and, if not, the reasons for the non-compliance;

   (i)the existence and terms of other vegetation clearance schemes;

   (j)any proposal to alter, remove or underground powerlines in the area;

   (k)the costs of the proposals (including insurance premiums) to the council and to the electricity entity and the financial resources of the council and entity;

   (l)the limits on the financial and other resources of the electricity entity that may be devoted to the scheme and the schemes for the areas of other councils;

   (m)any arrangement between the electricity entity and the council conferring on the council a specified role in relation to vegetation clearance.

4. A scheme cannot derogate from the principles set out in regulation 5.

5. A scheme—

   (a)must be in writing and executed by the council and the electricity entity (however, separate execution is not required if the scheme is combined with an arrangement under Part 5 of the Act conferring on the council a specified role in relation to vegetation clearance); and

   (b)may be varied or revoked by written agreement between the parties.

6. A vegetation clearance scheme as agreed has effect, and may be enforced, as a contract between the electricity entity and the council concerned.

8—Objections relating to vegetation clearance

1. An occupier or owner of private land may lodge an objection with the Technical Regulator concerning a matter set out in a notice of intention to enter land to carry out work received from an electricity entity or council under Part 5 of the Act.

2. An objection under this regulation must—

   (a)be made to the Technical Regulator in writing; and

   (b)be lodged with the Technical Regulator within 21 days after receipt of the notice to which the objection relates or such further time as the Technical Regulator allows.

3. The Technical Regulator must, on receipt of an objection, notify the electricity entity or council, as the case may require, of the objection.

4. On receiving notification of the objection, the electricity entity or council is prohibited from carrying out the clearance of vegetation to which the objection relates until the objection has been determined by the Technical Regulator.

5. The Technical Regulator may—

   (a)dismiss the objection; or

   (b)direct the electricity entity or council to take or to refrain from taking any specified action in relation to the matter; or

   (c)if the objector and the electricity entity or council have reached an agreement as to how the objection might be resolved, and the agreement does not involve a breach of these regulations—determine the objection so as to reflect the agreement.

6. The Technical Regulator may dismiss the objection—

   (a)on the ground that—

   (i)the subject matter of the objection is substantially the same as the subject matter of an objection previously considered; or

   (ii)the objection is frivolous or vexatious or without reasonable basis; or

   (iii)the objector has not made a reasonable attempt to resolve the matter by agreement with the electricity entity or council; or

   (b)if satisfied that the objector and the electricity entity or council have entered into an agreement under regulation 6 that relates to the subject matter of the objection; or

   (c)if satisfied for any other reason that the objection should not be allowed.

7. The Technical Regulator must, as soon as practicable, notify the objector and the electricity entity or council, as the case may require, of the Technical Regulator's determination of the objection.

8. An electricity entity or council must, when giving notice of an intention to enter private land to carry out work under Part 5 of the Act, include in or with the notice a statement of the rights of the owner or occupier to lodge an objection under this regulation.

9—Occupier's duty to clear vegetation

1. An occupier of private land must keep vegetation (other than naturally occurring vegetation) clear of any private overhead powerline on that land so that—

   (a)no part of the vegetation at any time intrudes into the clearance zone around that powerline in still air; and

   (b)no part of the vegetation is at any time likely to bend into that zone in winds that might reasonably be expected in the area.

2. An occupier of private land is not required to clear vegetation beyond the buffer zone around any powerline.

3. An occupier of private land must not clear vegetation which the occupier may not lawfully clear apart from this regulation—

   (a)more than is reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in subregulation (1) and for the purposes of enhancing the appearance and ensuring the stability and health of any remaining vegetation; or

   (b)in any event, beyond the buffer zone around the powerline.

10—Planting and nurturing vegetation near powerlines

For the purposes of Part 5 of the Act, Schedule 2 sets out requirements for planting or nurturing vegetation near powerlines.

11—Exemptions from principles of vegetation clearance

1. The Technical Regulator may, on application—

   (a)exempt an occupier of land on which vegetation is planted or nurtured for commercial purposes (not including the production of timber) from compliance with subregulation 9;

   (b)exempt a person from compliance with a provision of Schedule 2 in relation to specified vegetation.

2. An application under this regulation must—

   (a)be made in a form approved by the Technical Regulator; and

   (b)contain the information specified in the form; and

   (c)be accompanied by an application fee fixed by the Minister.

3. Before determining an application under this regulation, the Technical Regulator must give the electricity entity or council with the duty to keep the vegetation clear of powerlines a reasonable opportunity to make submissions and be heard on the matter.

4. An exemption under this regulation—

   (a)must be in writing; and

   (b)may be subject to conditions, including a condition that the applicant is to pay any costs that the electricity entity or council incur in keeping the vegetation clear of powerlines in accordance with these regulations.

5. A person who contravenes, or fails to comply with, a condition of an exemption under this regulation is guilty of an offence.

   Maximum penalty: $5 000.

   Expiation fee: $315.

12—Alternative vegetation clearance requirements

Despite the other provisions of these regulations, there may, as an alternative, be compliance with the requirements of these regulations as to clearance of vegetation from around powerlines if clearance is carried out in accordance with these regulations as they would be in force if regulation 6 of the Electricity (Principles of Vegetation Clearance) Variation Regulations 2007 had not come into operation.

2. For 132kV and 275kV lines, a "stepout" S is required for the buffer zone.

3. The values given are in metres.

4. The clearance to uninsulated LV conductors in non-bushfire risk areas is 0.1m for the length of the line and beyond termination poles or structures, as is also the case for fully insulated conductors in any part of the State.

5. The value of P determines the clearances required beyond a pole where a line terminates, in addition to clearances at poles or other supports along the length of the powerline.

6. A buffer zone of 1m and no clearance zone applies where a neutral conductor (CMEN) is not within the clearance zone or buffer zone of an adjoining conductor.

7. The clearance to Insulated Unscreened Conductor ("IUC" or "CCT") is 0.5m for the length of the line and beyond termination poles or structures, in any part of the State.
