Minimum distances between parts of buildings, structures, scaffolding and posts and protected aerial lines
610 Minimum distances between parts of buildings, structures, scaffolding and posts and protected aerial lines
A person must not build, erect or maintain a structure, building, scaffolding or post in a location if the structure, building, scaffolding or post will, at any time, be closer to a protected aerial line than the minimum safety distance set out for that protected aerial line.
Penalty: 20 penalty units.
If, after a structure, building, scaffolding or post is constructed, a protected aerial line is constructed closer to the structure, building, scaffolding or post than the minimum safety distance permits, the owner or operator of the protected aerial line is taken to have given permission for the structure, building, scaffolding or post to remain within the minimum safety distance in relation to that aerial line.
In this regulation, the minimum safety distance in relation to a protected aerial line, means the minimum distance specified for the type of protected aerial line set out in column 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 of Table 610 in relation to the location of the protected aerial line specified in column 1 of that Table.
