Energex is committed to delivering safe and reliable electricity and maintains the powerlines according to the Electrical Safety Act (2002).

Trees in powerlines pose potential safety risks and also affect the reliability of electricity to homes.  Over the coming weeks, Energex service providers will be in the Bracken Ridge Ward to prune trees and identify trees that require removal.

Residents have been notified by street tree service notice informing them of removal and replacement with more suitable species.  An Energex tree contractor will undertake the work within the next two weeks.  Street tree replacement planting is to be scheduled after the removal;  Replacement trees will be planted within accordance with current Council planting guidelines.
