Keep safe while working around powerlines!

Northpower

When working near overhead lines and power poles, keep a careful watch and make sure that you maintain a safe working distance from overhead lines at all times. When operating machinery such as a digger or crane near lines you must keep at least four metres clear of the overhead power lines.

Do not dig within five metres of power poles without a Close Approach Consent, as this could cause the power pole to collapse.

Please contact us on 0800 10 4040 to book a safety disconnection (and reconnection) at least two working days before you plan to begin your work.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
