Good afternoon Ray, .................. Thank you for your further email in relation to your case CN21-216239. .................. I will firstly address your concerns about the easement rights at your property. Where TasNetworks has electrical infrastructure on any property which was established prior to 6 November 1996 and is not benefitted by either a registered or unregistered easement, TasNetworks has a statutory easement over that property. A deemed easement (known as a statutory easement) gives TasNetworks specific rights over that property generally and over the safety corridor relating to the infrastructure. .................. Deemed easements also allow for access through neighbouring properties if necessary to complete works. The authority and applicable rights and restrictions of deemed easements are outlined in the Electricity Wayleaves and Easements Act 2000. .................. Please feel free to click on the below link to the TasNetworks public website for further information pertaining to easements. .................. https://www.tasnetworks.com.au/statutory-easements .................. Please be assured that the concerns you raised in relation to our Vegetation Officer who attended your property have been forwarded onto Management, and these will be addressed in line with TasNetworks’ internal procedures. .................. Your case with TasNetworks has now been closed, and any further concerns you may have in relation to this matter should be forwarded to the Energy Ombudsman via the following online link. .................. Energy Ombudsman Tasmania https://secure.justice.tas.gov.au/ombudsman_resolve_update/energy_ombudsman_complaint_form.................. However, please be aware that this outcome complies with TasNetworks’ processes and policies. ..................
