5. APPLICANT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR EASEMENTS

5.1 New Land Developments

Where the Applicant is lodging a survey plan (Deposited Plan or CommunityPlan) in conjunction with a development, the Applicant will be responsible for

creating the SA Power Networks‟ easement in accordance with this Standard.

Easements are NOT required for underground or overhead mains which are totallycontained within a road reserve or land that will become a road reserve upondeposit of a Plan of Division.

However to ensure compliance with the Electricity Act 1996 and any futureaccess requirements, where a trench alignment in the footpath of the road reserverunning parallel with a property boundary is less than 2.0m clear of a property

boundary, SA Power Networks may request a cable easement over the adjoining property to a width to be determined to suit the specific situation.

Easements are NOT required for standard SA Power Networks‟ service points asdefined in SA Power Networks Service and Installation Rules.

Immediately before work commences, all easements are to be surveyed by aregistered surveyor and pegs placed in position, all at the Applicant's cost. The

pegs must delineate an easement and the boundaries of blocks before, during andafter the electricity distribution assets are installed.

Prior to acceptance of the SA Power Networks‟ Certificate of ElectricalCompliance all easements (if a development includes an easement) must have

been surveyed. A copy of a numbered plan must be forwarded to the EasementCoordinator, Real Estate Branch at SA Power Networks.

If SA Power Networks infrastructure is to be located outside of the land beingdivided (a nearby Council reserve etc) then a registered easement will be requiredto be created by virtue of a Filed Plan and formal unencumbered Grant of Easement document.

The applicant is responsible for all costs associated with the preparation andregistration of the Filed Plan and unencumbered Grant of Easement documentswith the Lands Titles Office.

All documentation relevant to easements must be lodged at the Lands Title Officeas soon as possible. Any connection process to the SA Power Networks ‟ Distribution System will not commence until the lodgement of this documentationhas taken place.

W A R N








5.2 Requirements for SA Power Networks Easements when Customer elects to

be responsible for obtaining easements

Where the customer elects to be responsible for obtaining the SA Power Networkseasements the following applies:

The Customer is responsible for all costs associated with the preparation andregistration of the Filed Plan and unencumbered Grant of Easement documentswith the Lands Titles Office.

The Customer is responsible for obtaining, negotiating and paying anycompensation to any third party land owner (if the new supply will cross landother than that owned by the Customer).

Where the new supply will cross third party land the Customer must obtain anagreement from the third party land owner agreeing to grant the requiredregistered easement to SA Power Networks.

Appendix C of this standard contains the letter, “Letter of Agreement” that theCustomer must use for that agreement.

The Customer must arrange for a Filed Plan delineating the required easement/s to be lodged with the Lands Titles Office and also arrange for the formalunencumbered Grant of Easement document/s to be prepared and signed by allrelevant parties.

This documentation must be received by the Easement Coordinator, Real Estate

Branch at SA Power Networks, together with a written undertaking from theCustomer that they will ensure that the an easement documents are lodged for registration at the Lands Titles Office as soon as possible and prior to anyconnection to the SA Power Networks‟ Distribution System being programmed.

5.3 Requirements for SA Power Networks Easements when SA Power Networks

is responsible for obtaining required easements

Where SA Power Networks is responsible for obtaining the required easement/sthe following applies:

The customer must agree to the conditions set out in the SA Power Networksquotation letter, in particular the condition that states that the registered proprietor of the land receiving supply, shall grant the required registered easement to SAPower Networks.

Acceptance of the quotation letter by the customer binds the customer to grantingthe registered easement to SA Power Networks.

Where the customer is NOT the registered proprietor of the land, the customer isresponsible for obtaining a written agreement from the registered proprietor of theland undertaking to grant the required registered easement to SA Power Networks.

This undertaking must be provided by the customer to the SA Power Networks Network Project Officer handling the job before works can commence.

W A R N








If it is necessary to cross third party land (being land not owned by the Customer requesting supply) an Agreement/s to grant easement letter must be obtained fromthe property owner/s of the third party land. These agreements are issued by therelevant Network Project Officer and must be received by the Network ProjectOfficer handling the job before works can commence.

Once either or both of the above have been obtained and supplied to the Network Project Officer the construction works can commence/Authority to Proceed can beissued by the Network Project Officer (provided all other SA Power Networksrequirements have been met).

Once the infrastructure has been installed SA Power Networks will then arrangethe required easement survey plan and unencumbered Grant of Easementdocumentation and issue this documentation to the relevant property owners.

6. SITE PLANNING REQUIREMENTS

6.1 Relocation of equipment

If the position of the infrastructure which is to be vested to SA Power Networks isto be altered as a result of obstructions encountered during installation, the survey

plan must be amended to reflect the change. The Customer must provide to SAPower Networks a copy of the amended survey plan. Equipment installed withinan easement must still comply with this standard.

6.2 Condition of Site Levels

An easement sites must be reasonably level and free from encumbrances. TheApplicant must provide satisfactory information to SA Power Networks as to the

proposed finished surface levels, indicating adequate surface drainage of landabutting easement sites. See TS085 for retaining wall requirements.

Details of the required easements shall be shown on SA Power Networks ConduitEasement and Trenching drawing for the development where SA Power Networks

performs the Design, or on the Design drawings reviewed by SA Power Networkswhere the Applicant performs the design.

6.4 Fencing around Padmount Transformers/Switching Cubicles

If private fencing is installed, it must be constructed outside or on the perimeter boundary of the designated easement. Notwithstanding, the front boundary mustnot be fenced without the prior written approval of SA Power Networks. If security to the property is required by the landowner, SA Power Networks maygrant approval to install a front fence but only on the basis that it is constructedwith removable panels/gates and incorporates SA Power Networks‟ master key

locking facilities.

Fencing that is installed by SA Power Networks forms part of SA Power Networks‟ infrastructure and is the responsibility of SA Power Networks – see

heading Ground Level Transformer Sites (clause 6.8 in this document).

W A R N








6.5 Retaining Walls around Padmount Transformers/Switching Cubicles

Where SA Power Networks has requested the installation of a retaining wall andthis retaining wall has been installed by either SA Power Networks or itsauthorised contractors, this retaining wall shall form part of SA Power Networks‟ infrastructure and shall be the responsibility of SA Power Networks to maintain

6.9 Shared Occupation of Easements

Other parties seeking to share SA Power Networks‟ easements must obtainapproval from SA Power Networks before placing any infrastructure in aneasement area to ensure that SA Power Networks‟ rights pursuant to the aneasement are able to be fully utilized by SA Power Networks.

6.10 Equipment Located in Car Parking Areas

Where a transformer or switching cubicle frontage abuts a car park on private property, the standard easement area must be increased to include the requiredoperating area. Where an easement covering the operating area includes a car

parking space, protection of the operating area is required as described in clause 7of this standard.

The protected area is to include the area directly in front of the equipment to beoperated. The extremities of the protection are to be bounded by the projection of the equipment area, as depicted in Appendix B, to a depth of the required

operating area.

W A R N








Where a transformer or switching cubicle frontage abuts a car park roadway/thoroughfare, a risk assessment is to be conducted to ensure the safety of the operator, equipment and allow access at all times.

6.11 Equipment located in designated Transformer Room/Building

Where a Transformer, Switching Cubicle and /or a LV Switching Cabinet arelocated wholely within a building that is designated as a transformer room theregistered easement will include additional requirements that place the onus on thecustomer/owner of the building to be responsible for all costs associated with

physically installing and removing the infrastructure if directed by SA Power Networks in the event that the equipment needs to be replaced and also for ensuring that access is available 24 hours a day to the transformer room locatedwithin the building.

This is dealt with in greater detail in Technical Standard 108.

7. GUIDELINES FOR PLAN PREPARATION

7.1 General

These guidelines should be read in conjunction with the “TS -100 - Electrical

Design Standard for Underground Cable Networks”, “TS108 – Technical

Standard for Distribution Transformer Rooms” and “Manual of Survey Practice” issued by Land Services Group, DTEI

Registered easements shall be obtained for all power lines/infrastructure placed onabove or under public or private land including transformers and switchingcubicles, except in the following circumstances:

where the power line (excluding ground mounted transformers or switchgear) is situated on a public road reserve. However, if there isconductor overhang a registered easement will be required over the affected

property abutting the road reserve; or

where an overhead power line on the property being supplied involves onlyone span of less than 20 metres and the property has no possibility of beingdivided; or

where supply to a property is provided by a LV underground power line to aservice pit/pillar or service enclosure and the service pit/pillar or enclosureis within 6 metres of the front boundary which abuts a public road and thecable follows a straight line from the property boundary along a direct routeto the pit or enclosure;

W A R N








7.2 Underground Cable Easement

A standard underground cable easement will be a minimum of 4 metres in width(unless otherwise negotiated) and preferably located along the boundary of adesignated allotment/s. The minimum clearance between the cable centreline and

an easement boundary must not be less than 2 metres and an easement width must be uniform for the entire length.

In Community Title developments an underground cable easement can be theentire width of the community roadway provided the roadway is NOT wider than10 metres.

A standard note for a cable easement on a plan of division or community plan is"Portion of Allotment marked (X) hereon is to be subject to a service easement to

Distribution Lessor Corporation (subject to Lease 8890000) for electricity supply

purposes.”

Service easements can only be created up to a width of 10m wide - any easementsto be created that are wider than 10m CANNOT be created as service easements

but they may be created in the documentation accompanying the relevant plan.

7.3 Overhead Line Easements

A registered easement for existing overhead mains must be negotiated at anyopportunity with a land owner where SA Power Networks wishes to retain anexisting overhead line. This requirement also applies to lines where they are

protected by an existing statutory easement in accordance with The Electricity Act

1996 (General) Regulations.

Where there exists a registered easement for an overhead power line which is toremain, with a prescribed easement width less than the current requirements setout below, provision must be made for an easement to be delineated on the survey

plan using the current prescribed easement width, at the cost of the applicant.

A standard note for an overhead mains easement on a plan of division or community plan is "Portion of Allotment marked (X) hereon is to be subject to an

easement for electricity supply purposes to Distribution Lessor Corporation

(subject to Lease 8890000) as set forth in the accompanying application”.

The same notation on the survey plan can be used as that for cable easementsmentioned above however a different easement identifier must be used.

Standard overhead easement widths for line voltages are as follows:

11,000 volt and below 15 metres (7.5m either side of centreline)19,000 volt 17 metres (8.5m either side of centreline)33,000 volt 20 metres (10m either side of centreline)66,000 volt 26 metres (13m either side of centreline)

above 66,000 volts Obtain instructions from Electra Net SA

W A R N








7.4 Pad mount TF/Switching Cubicle/LV Switching Cabinet Easements

Appendix A delineates standard easement requirements for pad mounttransformer, switching cubicle and LV switching cabinet installed by SA Power

Networks. Note that the operating area is not required to be part of an easement if the transformer/switching cubicle/LV switching cabinet are located on a common

boundary with a Public Road. Different size easements may be required and will be determined by negotiation.

The equipment area, the easement and the SA Power Networks equipment will ingeneral have a common centreline.

A retaining wall installed as part of a transformer, switching cubicle or LVswitching cabinet installation must be contained within the registered easementand not impact on the minimum requirements of the equipment area. If thestandard easement area is not sufficient, a larger registered easement must be

provided.

Appendix B delineates an easement requirement for equipment with a retainingwall installed by SA Power Networks. In situations where a retaining wall isrequired for the retainment of fill material, the easement boundary is to beextended by the height of the retaining wall to allow the retaining wall to beconstructed inside the easement boundary. Refer to TS-085 Clause 3.0.

Appendix B provides detailed descriptions and examples of the easementrequirements for SA Power Networks equipment with a retaining wall, which aredesigned to assist in the preparation of suitably dimensioned easements at the

stage of the lodgement of the Deposited Plan of Division or Community Plan.

The actual easement dimensions required will be confirmed at the time of installation of the SA Power Networks equipment and it will be the customer‟s responsibility to ensure that documented dimensions on either the Deposited Planof Division or Community Plan are equal or greater than the site specificrequirements prior to SA Power Networks vesting the asset.

Any changes to an easement shown on a Deposited Plan will require thelodgement of a Filed Plan and the unencumbered Grant of Easementdocumentation signed by all parties prior to SA Power Networks commencing the

vesting of any project with an easement. Refer to section 8.3.

In order for a service, an easement to vest on a plan of division/communitydivision the width must not exceed 10 metres. If two units (e.g. transformer andswitching cubicle) must be located side by side and both dimensions will exceed10 metres, then a single easement is not acceptable. In this instance, two separateeasements are required to be shown on the plan, providing each easement has onedimension no greater than 10 metres and each easement contains a single unit andthere is no encroachment by the other unit.

A standard note for an SA Power Networks transformer/switching cubicle created

on a plan of division/community plan is “Portion of Allotment marked (X) (T/F)hereon is to be subject to a service easement to Distribution Lessor Corporation

W A R N








(subject to Lease 8890000 for electricity supply purposes”. The transformer and

switching cubicle identifier must contain the characters "(T/F)".

If the position of any transformer/switching cubicle/LV switching cabinet is to bealtered at any time during the execution of the Works, the survey plan must be

amended to reflect the change. The customer will provide to SA Power Networksa copy of the amended survey plan for SA Power Networks‟ approval prior to

lodgement of the plan or electrification of the electrical works.

Parties involved in the preparation of plans which delineate SA Power Networks‟ easements are reminded that all SA Power Networks services must be fieldlocated to verify that the constructed position accords with the original design

position i.e. located within the an easement as specified in this standard.

(per property owner, excludes GST)

An easement plan and documentation prepared and registered by Applicant(SA Power Networks required to execute only - $100 * (per property owner)

Note:

It is not standard practice for SA Power Networks to undertake survey plans for

land divisions and accordingly no costs have been included for this function. Also

note that SA Power Networks’ fees and charges are subject to change without

notice.

9.5 Extinguishment of SA Power Networks/DLC Easements

Where infrastructure, which is protected by a registered easement, has beenremoved and an easement is no longer required, the Applicant can apply, inwriting, to have the easement extinguished. All extinguishments are subject to SAPower Networks‟ Policy Directive Number 6.1 for Easements.

An application does not guarantee the extinguishment of the easement. Any costsassociated with the extinguishment of the easement if approved will be borne bythe applicant.

Similarly, where infrastructure which is protected by a registered easement has been removed in conjunction with a new land development and an easement is nolonger required the extinguishment of that easement can be shown on the Plan of Division/Community Plan and extinguished as part of the Plan of Division/Community Plan process.

All costs associated with the extinguishment of the easement will be borne by theapplicant/developer.

NOTES:There are installation details that you may wish to refer to in Technical Standard TS-085 -Trenching and Conduit standard for Underground Cable Networks.

Buffer Zone: The Buffer Zone (dimension „B‟) applies to a filled retaining wall only. Thezone provides a no-go area of „original‟ ground between the base of the retaining wall and

an easement boundary to ensure the retaining wall integrity is not impacted by worksexternal to the easement.

It is equal to the maximum height of any part of the retaining wall and is an additionaldimension extending from the base of the retaining wall and defines an easement boundaryfor any side of a site that has a retaining wall and abuts private and public land. W

A R N






Issue: 03/09/12 Authorised: J Ali Date: 03/09/12 of 31

Disclaimer refer www.sapowernetworks.com.au

The maximum buffer zone dimension is 1.0m in any direction. Tolerance is 100mm.

Equipment area: A retaining wall (including the required agricultural pipe and specifiedfill) can not encroach on the equipment area which will be 3.0m x 2.8m for up to a 1mVA

transformer or a switching cubicle or 3.0m x 3.5m for a 1.5 or 2mVA transformer unlessotherwise specified for either a filled or cut retaining wall.

Retaining wall footprint: This is the total area needed for the retaining wall and includesany area required for drainage either on the inside or outside of the retaining wall.

W A R N









B1-Sht-3: Examples of Calculations - Retaining Wall – (Fill Scenario)

EXAMPLE 1:A transformer is to be installed on a site that has a filled retaining wall at the back and one

side only and its maximum height to the finished ground level is 450mm. The retaining wall

is steel beam posts with concrete rails. The retaining wall footprint including the agricultural pipe, is 200mm. (From section view in Diagram A the Buffer Zone = Retaining wall height).

Easement Width - Dimension „W‟

Equipment Area Width + Retaining Wall Depth + Buffer Zone3.0m + 0.2m (retaining wall depth „A‟m x 1) + 0.45m (buffer zone „B‟m x 1)

Total width = 3.65mIn this instance the total width dimensions are greater than the minimum easement width„W‟ of 3.5m and an easement width will need to be increased to 3.65m wide.

Easement Depth - Dimension „D‟ Equipment Area Depth + Retaining Wall Depth + Buffer Zone2.8m + 0.2m (retaining wall depth „C‟m x 1) + 0.45m (buffer zone „B‟m x 1)

Total depth = 3.45m

In this instance the total depth dimensions are greater than the minimum easement depth „D‟

of 3.0m and an easement depth will need to be increased to 3.45m deep.

EXAMPLE 2:

As per example one but there is a requirement for a retaining wall on both sides plus therear.

Easement Width - Dimension „W‟ changes to; Equipment Area Width + Retaining Wall Depth + Buffer Zone3.0m + 0.4m (retaining wall depth „A‟m x 2) + 0.90m (Buffer zone „B‟m x 2)
