Easement

How can I apply for a safety assessment or permit to work?

Certain equipment, activities or land uses in an easement require a safety assessment or permit to work. In each case, a written notice of permission to proceed will be issued following an assessment. Safety assessments and permits to work are provided by AusNet free of charge.

1. To arrange a safety assessment or permit, contact AusNet by email at ptw@ausnetservices.com.au.

2. Complete and return the permit to work form.

3. Applications will be reviewed within 5 business days of receipt.

4. We will undertake a desktop analysis and contact you if we require any further information.

Typically, it will take 10 business days to complete a safety assessment or permit application.

You can also contact your Land Liaison Officer to discuss any requirements for activities within the easement and they can coordinate a safety assessment request.
