Land interests for contestable works
Where customers fund the construction of assets on private property, there is also a need to secure Endeavour Energy's land interests, to allow maintenance and operational activities.
Land interests for new network assets
Under the relevant Model Standing Offer, land interests must be provided where any part of the distribution system is, or will be, located on land that is not a dedicated public road.
Depending on the type of development and the location of electricity assets being installed, there are different pathways to providing land interests for contestable works.
Registered land interests when subdividing land
Land interests must be shown in the plans of subdivisions and must be approved by Endeavour Energy, prior to the issue of the Notification of Arrangement letter.
The land interests are created by registration of the plan of subdivision, at the NSW Land Registry Services (LRS).
Registered land interests when not subdividing land
The land interests are completed when the easement image from LRS showing easement registration details, has been submitted to Endeavour Energy.
Completion of land interests are required at least three weeks prior to the energisation outage for the associated network assets.
Where land interests have not been completed three weeks prior to the energisation outage, the planned outage will be cancelled and rescheduled. Please note that this rescheduling may incur additional fees.
Easement creation process
These steps detail a typical process that a developer or landowner would follow to register land interests. The examples outlined are for developments that do not involve subdividing land.
