There are three classes of transmission line easements:
Registered easements - the details of these easements are registered on land title documents.
Unregistered easements - these easements were created by agreement with the landowners at the time the easements were acquired. While they are not usually registered on land title documents we hold a record of them. Copies of agreements relating to specific properties are available on request.
Statutory easements - Section 11 of the Electricity Wayleaves and Easements Act 2000 creates easements for any transmission infrastructure erected before 6 November 1996 for which we hold no registered or unregistered easement.
We provide a search service to locate easements throughout the transmission network. A small fee is charged for this service. For more information contact us on 1300 361 811.
