Hi PerthPowerPro, I just went through a pole replacement. It's crucial to check if the installation comes from Western Power or if it’s a private issue. Western Power 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 complications.

Adding to Wattson's point, consider the type of pole being installed. Steel poles are popular but have different longevity. Check with your installer what the best option is based on your property's location and power needs.

Make sure the installation includes durable materials to minimize future issues.

I’d also add that choosing a trustworthy 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.
