Hi PerthPowerPro, I just went through a pole replacement. It's crucial to check if the defect notice comes from Western Power or if it’s a private issue. Your energy provider should give you clear instructions on how to address the defect notice.

That's right, ElectricLiz. Also, be aware that weather conditions in Perth can significantly impact the timing of power pole installations. It’s recommended to schedule repairs during dry weather periods to avoid delays.

Adding to Wattson's point, consider the type of pole being installed. Wooden poles are common but require different handling. Verify with your installer what the best option is based on your location and power needs.

Don't forget about the Perth weather. Our high winds can cause early wear and tear on power poles. Ensure the installation comes with weather-proofing to reduce future issues.

Thanks everyone for the insights. I noticed that the defect notice mentioned certain specifications for pole replacement that seem to be influenced by recent changes in regulations. Has anyone else got similar notices lately?

I’d also add that choosing a reliable contractor is as important as the type of pole. You want someone who is well-versed in dealing with local power infrastructure and can handle the entire process from permits to installation.
