Helping to prevent bushfires

With bushfire season fast approaching, we’re reducing the threat of vegetation coming in contact with powerlines. Over the coming months we'll be working with our authorised contractors to clear vegetation growing too close to TasNetworks-owned powerlines.

We focus on what are considered 'high fire danger/ high consequence areas as identified by the Tasmanian Fire Service, including:

• Derwent valley
• Huon
• Kingborough
• Southern Midlands
• Brighton
• Sorell
• Central highlands
• Glenorchy
• Hobart
• Clarence
• Glamorgan Spring Bay

Vegetation inspections commenced in June 2020, with identified problem vegetation being removed between July and November 2020.

If you see trees growing too close to powerlines you can report them now on our website.
