The point of attachment supports the overhead service where it reaches the property. Keep clear of a damaged attachment and attached wires. Stay at least eight metres from fallen powerlines and anything touching them; call Triple Zero (000) for immediate danger and notify the distributor. Our licensed electricians assess repairs after the area is safe.

An attachment failure can involve the building structure as well as electrical equipment. We confirm the network-authorised scope and any building or engineering assessment before specifying a repair; replacing a bracket alone may not resolve the cause.
What this page covers
Supply-side electrical support for damaged point of attachment issues, overhead supply enquiries and defect notice work.
An attachment failure can involve the building structure as well as electrical equipment. We confirm the network-authorised scope and any building or engineering assessment before specifying a repair; replacing a bracket alone may not resolve the cause.
Service guide
Check the support, cable loading and building structure.
A pulled-away bracket, damaged fascia or changed cable clearance needs more than a visual tidy-up. Safe isolation, structural support and the service arrangement determine how the attachment can be repaired or relocated.
What the assessment covers
Once safe access is arranged, we review the accessible attachment, related service equipment and visible building damage. The support must suit the service loading. Where the structure is inadequate or uncertain, building repairs or an engineering assessment may be required.
- Reported movement, storm damage or a defect notice
- Attachment location and service clearances
- Condition of the supporting structure and accessible wiring
Agree the repair sequence
The plan identifies isolation, authorised service work, structural repairs and reconnection requirements. A relocation can change the route or clearances, so an existing arrangement is not automatically suitable to reuse.
- Confirm responsibility for building repairs
- Arrange the required access and outage
- Test completed electrical work before the connection step
Prepare an enquiry without approaching wires
Send the suburb, notice details and whether the supply remains connected. Describe visible damage from a safe position. Do not climb onto a roof, use a ladder near wires or get closer for a photograph.
- Safe distant photos are optional
- Tell us about planned roof or fascia work
- Network approval and attendance remain separate requirements

FAQ
Common questions.
Is a damaged point of attachment urgent?
Yes. Keep clear of loose or damaged attachments and service wires; do not touch them. Stay at least eight metres from fallen powerlines and anything touching them. For fire, smoke or immediate danger, call Triple Zero (000) from safety first, then notify the electricity distributor. Arrange assessment only after the area has been made safe.
Can a defect notice mention the point of attachment?
Yes. Defect notices can list point of attachment, overhead service or consumer mains issues that need the correct electrical process.
What should I send for a point of attachment quote?
Send the suburb, a summary of any notice, whether supply is connected and what you observed from safety. Stay at least eight metres from fallen powerlines and anything touching them. Photos are optional: use only safe accessible positions with covers and enclosures closed. Do not climb, enter roof spaces, dig, open equipment or approach hazards for a photo. Never delay an emergency call to collect details.
Can this involve a private power pole?
Yes. Point of attachment issues can be connected to private poles, overhead service lines, consumer mains and defect notice work.
Who should I call if the service line is fallen or dangerous?
Stay at least eight metres from fallen powerlines and anything touching them. For fire, smoke or immediate danger, call Triple Zero (000) from safety first, then notify the electricity distributor. Do not approach the attachment or wires for a photo or wait for a quote response.
