Notice of powerline clearance works

Published on 24 October 2025

We will soon be pruning trees on our nature strips and various properties we own to maintain a safe distance around powerlines. Victorian regulations require us to maintain vegetation clearance around powerlines for public safety.

The Street tree pruning program schedule lists where tree pruning works will occur based on suburb and precinct. It also lists the works period, reflecting when the tree pruning work will begin and be completed in streets throughout the location.

Pruning works will not occur on trees growing out from private property.
