NS143: Easements, Leases and Rights of Way
Sets out the basic requirements for property tenure for Ausgrid assets including substations, overhead mains and underground cables.
Scope
This standard applies to all interests in land acquired by Ausgrid on behalf of Alpha Network Management Pty Limited or its successors to permit Ausgrid network assets to be situated on, over or under private land.
It is preferable that these interests are registered at Land Registry Services (LRS) NSW before the associated assets are connected to the network and electrified, however where this is not practicable the landowner must enter into a Deed of Agreement (DoA) for each project as discussed in the Model Standing Offer Standard Connection Services for Contestable ASP/1 Premises Connections no greater than 11kV, and the Policy for ASP/1 Premises Connections.
Ausgrid’s rights to occupy public land are defined in the Electricity Supply Act 1995 (NSW), and are only discussed generally in this document.
