    Are TasNetwork Employees to inform Commercial premises when visiting sites?

    Greg asked 9 months ago

    Hi Greg. TasNetworks may need to enter private residential and commercial premises for meter reads, asset inspections, planned works, or emergency unplanned works, just to name a few. It does depend on the situation as to whether TasNetworks is able to provide prior warning to the property owner. 

    If you would like this issue investigated further, I can ask a member of our customer advocacy team to contact you to discuss? Please let me know your best contact details by emailing us at engage@tasnetworks.com.au - thank you.
