2 OBJECTIVES 1. In keeping with the State Government and the general community s preference for underground power, Horizon Power offers, subject to conditions, a special Pole to Pillar rate for the underground connection of domestic dwellings in overhead areas. Therefore, underground power is mandatory for all new and extensively renovated sites supplied by the North West Interconnected System (NWIS) and the Non Interconnected Systems (NIS). 2. Customers requesting an underground service in an overhead area will be required to complete the standard application form, which can be accessed from Horizon Power s website: https://www.horizonpower.com.au/connections/upgrade-a-power-supply/. The builder or electrician can submit the form on the customer s behalf. Note: No Acknowledgement letter is sent to customers for pole-to-pillar connections as they are a recoverable works job. 3. The Pole to Pillar rate is calculated assuming pillars will supply a number of domestic dwellings or lots. 4. In the event that a Directional Drill Rig (drilling machine) is not available to complete the boring for a road crossing of the underground service within the required timeframe, Horizon Power may install a temporary pole with an aerial connection and cable to the pillar until the road crossing can be installed. Customers are to be informed when this situation may apply. This temporary solution will remain in place until such time it s practicable to dispatch a boring contractor or machinery to complete the work. 5. Horizon Power reserves the right to withhold application of the Pole to Pillar rate and charge full cost at any time at its discretion. Generally this may occur in (but is not limited to) instances where a suitable supply arrangement exists or can be upgraded, but the customer requests an arrangement that requires additional network assets be installed. 6. In extenuating circumstances only when it is technically impractical or cost prohibitive to install underground cable, then at the discretion of Horizon Power, the connection may be a standard aerial connection from the nearest pole, at the standard aerial connection charge. 7. Connections must be made in accordance with the WADCM and WAER. Examples of acceptable and unacceptable supply arrangements are given in Appendix B. CS 10# 1396615 Page 6 of 24 Print Date 17/10/2017

3 CONDITIONS The following conditions must be met in order to qualify for the Pole to Pillar rate: 1. New lots and/or dwellings must be located within the Electricity Licensing Area Boundary. 2. No more than three dwellings require connection as a result of the subdivision. This includes any existing connections (a customer main switchboard is required for three dwellings as a result of a subdivision). 3. No more than three lots are being created as a result of the subdivision. 4. The dwelling(s) supply is standard. 5. The lot is located in an overhead area. 6. The proposed pillar must be placed in Horizon Power s preferred or acceptable location. (Horizon Power selects locations that maximise the existing and future use of the pillar.) The pillar location must be on a front property boundary. The pillar location must be on a boundary between adjacent lots. The pillar must be located on the requestor s property unless one already exists on the adjacent property. If customer requires different location, full cost will apply. 7. There must be no requirement to remove or relocate an existing overhead line as a result of the subdivision. 8. Low voltage overhead mains must exist within 60m of the lot boundary where the pillar is to be installed. 9. The route from the existing low voltage overhead mains to the proposed pillar location must be suitable for the installation of low voltage underground cable. 10. The lots must be residential. 11. The same developer/owner must not have submitted an application for Pole to Pillar for an adjacent or the same lot within the previous three years. 12. A company, organisation, person or group of persons must not be progressively seeking Pole to Pillar connections for an area that, in Horizon Power s opinion, should be developed as a standard underground residential subdivision. 13. Supply Extension Scheme (SES) charging is not applicable. 14. Where applicable, common property is created to allow consumer mains to be connected to the pillar and or sub-mains to be connected to the site main switchboard. At Horizon Power s sole discretion, a service easement may be substituted (refer to Clause 4.3). 15. The site must be ready and pegged for immediate installation of the pillar, and no obstruction to the pillar access is permitted. CS 10# 1396615 Page 7 of 24 Print Date 17/10/2017

4 CHARGES 4.1 Responsibility for connection from the pillar to and within the customer s property All electrical work and associated costs for connection from the pillar to and within the customer s property/premise is the responsibility of the customer. 4.2 Pole to Pillar Rates (PPR) 4.2.1 General Provided the conditions of this guideline are met, the Pole to Pillar rates listed below will apply. Additional charges may apply for the extension or upgrade of Horizon Power s electrical network. Examples of how these charges are applied are given below. If the conditions are not met, Horizon Power will issue a quote for the full cost of supplying a connection in accordance with the applicable Regional Supply and Extension Policy. This cost may include the extension or upgrade of Horizon Power s electrical network. (Note: where a site is not immediately ready for the pillar to be installed, Horizon Power will charge the Pole to Pillar rate provided the customer includes with their application, a written advice as to when the site will be ready. This applies only when the site will be ready a maximum of 90 calendar days from the date of application. If the customer pays the Pole to Pillar rate but subsequently withdraws access to the site so work is delayed, the full cost may be applied.) Where a pillar has been installed in an overhead area, new customers who subsequently have access to the pillar must pay the Pole to Pillar Rate per dwelling or lot. 4.2.2 Fixed Price Charge The PPR fixed price charge as described in this clause, is based on a single dwelling per lot unless otherwise stated. Four lot strata schemes are not eligible for the PPR fixed charge. All charges are available at https://horizonpower.com.au/connections/forms-fees-andcharges/) 4.2.3 Connection Charges Where the final connections to the pillar are completed by Horizon Power, additional charges apply.

This is because the Strata Titles Act only specifies an implied easement when a service exists. The common property must be a minimum of one metre in width. If the establishment of common property will prevent the subdivision from proceeding then, at Horizon Power s sole discretion, an easement may be created in lieu. The customer is responsible for all costs associated with the creation of the easement. The easement shall be a 136C service easement with the following notation: This easement is to allow connection of power to adjoining survey strata lots on this survey strata plan. Other services are permitted in this easement provided they do not interfere with the provision of power. If consumer mains exist at the time of subdivision then there will be an implied easement over them. In infrequent cases, the location of the existing pillar and the existence of consumer mains may mean that access is not required and hence no common property need be established. Appendix D gives examples of this. Note that Horizon Power recommends common property or an easement is still created in these situations in order to minimise the risk of future customer access disputes.

APPENDIX B - ILLUSTRATION OF SOME WA ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS Case 1 An existing freehold title lot is subdivided into a survey strata plan with two survey strata lots. There is one dwelling with existing overhead supply Lot A A Lot B B overhead service from service pole Pole The installation of pillar on survey strata Lot A or Lot B requires the existing overhead service to Lot B to be removed and the dwelling on Lot B to be connected to same pillar as Lot A. The connection of Lot A to pillar A or pillar B requires the existing overhead service to Lot B to be removed and the dwelling on Lot B to be connected to same pillar as Lot A. Case 2 An existing freehold title lot is subdivided into a survey strata plan with two survey strata lots. There is one dwelling with an existing underground supply. These sample cases show situations where an additional pillar can not be installed on either of the new survey strata lots. Lot A Lot A underground consumer mains Lot B Lot B underground consumer mains CS 10# 1396615 Page 16 of 24 Print Date 17/10/2017

Case 3 An existing freehold title lot is subdivided into a survey strata plan with two survey strata lots. There is one dwelling with an existing underground supply.

Case 4 An existing freehold title lot is subdivided into survey strata plan with three or more survey strata lots. A main switchboard (MSB) is required in order to prevent more than two consumer mains being connected to the pillar from any one survey strata plan or any one freehold title lot.

APPENDIX C: - ILLUSTRATION OF PREFERRED LOCATIONS Case 1 A single existing dwelling is converting to underground pillar Not a preferred or acceptable pillar location dwelling Preferred pillar location pillar Pillars are located at every second lot boundary in order to minimise network costs by having at least two connections per pillar Case 2 Two survey strata lots are created in existing freehold title lot Subdivided lots pillar Acceptable pillar locations Preferred pillar location pillar The preferred pillar location maximises the opportunity to minimise costs and maintain the Pole to Pillar rate as low as possible. However the acceptable locations allow the minimum requirement of two connections per pillar. CS 10# 1396615 Page 19 of 24 Print Date 17/10/2017

APPENDIX D: - ILLUSTRATION WHERE COMMON PROPERTY OR 136C EASEMENT IS NOT REQUIRED As stated in Section 7 Common Property Requirements, common property or an easement must be established across survey strata lots to ensure all lots can access the pillar with their consumer mains. In some instances the location of the existing pillar and the existence of consumer mains may mean that access is not required for the new lot and hence no common property need be established. The Strata Title Act Provides implied easements for the existing consumer mains in these situations. The following drawings indicate some such instances.

APPENDIX E: - PERMISSIBLE NUMBER OF CONNECTIONS TO A PILLAR Connection Policy A maximum of two standard supply connections per single green lot may be made to an individual service pillar where the maximum demand of the pillar permits. Where an existing freehold title lot is subdivided into three or more survey strata lots or survey plan then a main switchboard (MSB) shall be supplied and installed to ensure that the connection capacity of the pillar is not exceeded by the connection of more than two consumer mains from any one strata lot or any one freehold title lot. Pillar Location Horizon Power will provide only one point of supply to an individual freehold lot, Crown land title or strata lot unless unusual circumstances justify more than one and safety concerns are satisfied. A service pillar is a distribution enclosure owned by Horizon Power installed on a customer s property, providing a point of supply (connection point) to the electricity distribution network for the customer s electrical installation. Horizon Power will determine the final location of all pillars. As a general rule the centre of the pillar should be within an area not more than 500 mm from the front boundary and from the common boundary of the adjacent property so as to allow access to the pillar from both properties. The customer may choose to negotiate the installation of the pillar in an alternative location however in such cases the full cost of the pillar installation shall be borne by the customer and access or easements provided for any affected customers. Pillar Capacity For the majority of residential connections a mini pillar will be installed as described above to service two adjacent residential lots. For group housing lots (building strata or survey strata) with more than four dwelling units or where loads exceed standard supply a uni-pillar may be provided. Pillars are capable of accommodating up to four (standard supply) sets of consumer main terminations via a multi-point terminal block provided within the pillar. For safety reasons and to ensure the continuance of supply to all customers only one wire of a consumer mains cable shall be terminated in each tunnel of the terminal block. Doubling of active conductors in one tunnel is not permitted except for street light circuits. Developer s Responsibility The developer is responsible for: Ensuring that the electricity network for the development is designed and constructed to deliver a reliable and quality electricity supply for end users of electricity for the life of the asset.
