Committed to your community's safety

Winter weather brings increased electrical safety risks where trees and powerlines are too close. Trees that are professionally pruned will minimise the risk of electrocution and outages caused by branches coming in to contact with powerlines.

Western Power is committed to your community’s safety and has information that can be distributed to your residents. To request an campaign information pack simply complete a 'request information pack form'.
