AusNet aerial inspections in the Yarra Ranges



AusNet will be in the Yarra Ranges undertaking aerial inspections from Monday 15 to Friday 19 September.

Locations include Warburton, Warburton East, Belgrave South, Big Pats Creek, McMahon’s Creek and Reefton.

Helicopters give AusNet a bird’s-eye view, so it can more easily identify and repair any wear and tear on powerlines and poles.

Each year it inspects around 40,000 poles. This work is undertaken throughout the year in an effort to keep the AusNet distribution network safe and reliable.

These routine aerial inspections help support a reliable and safe electricity supply for Victorian communities.
