South Australian Current Regulations South Australian Current Regulations81—Erection of buildings in proximity to aerial lines
(1) For the purposes
of section 86 of the Act, a person must not, except as approved by the
Technical Regulator, erect a building or structure in proximity to an aerial
line as follows:
(a) in
the case of an aerial line (other than a facade mounted line) constructed to
operate at a voltage of more than 66 kV—
(i)
under the aerial line; or
(ii)
so that the horizontal distance from any part of the
building or structure to the centre-line of any such aerial line is less than
the relevant distance as set out in Table 1 in Schedule 1;
(b) in
the case of an aerial line (other than a facade mounted line) or
other cable system constructed to operate at a voltage of 66 kV or
less—so that the vertical or horizontal distance from any part of the
building or structure to any position to which a conductor in the aerial line
or other cable system may sag at maximum design temperature, or move as a
result of normal prevailing wind pressures, is less than the relevant distance
as set out in Table 1 in Schedule 1.
Note—
The figures following Table 1 in Schedule 1 are to be used to assist
in understanding the information contained in the Table.
(2) Despite
regulation 48(3), for the purposes of subregulation (1) the
distances set out in Table 1 in Schedule 1 apply in relation to
aerial lines whether installed before, on or after 1 July 1997.
(3) The Technical
Regulator may only approve the construction or reconstruction (including
reconstruction in a different form) of a building or structure in proximity to
an aerial line that is not situated on a public road and is constructed to
operate at a voltage of more than 66 kV if—
(a) the
Technical Regulator has consulted with the entity responsible for the
aerial line; and
(b) the
Technical Regulator is satisfied that the entity will be able to access the
aerial line if the building or structure is constructed or reconstructed.
(4) The requirements
of this regulation do not apply in relation to—
(a) a
fence, sign or notice that is less than 2.0 metres in height and is not
designed for a person to stand on; or
(b) a
service line installed specifically to supply electricity to the building or
structure by the operator of the transmission or distribution network from
which the electricity is being supplied.
