Browse Forums Building Standards; Getting It Right! 1 Aug 02, 2009 5:24 pm Hi, I need to get some answers before I build my front boundary wall. My power dome is currently located front right corner of my property, I have plans to erect a wall infront of it so that it can be hidden away, but still accessible to Western power guys. So what can I do or can't do? I driven around the streets where people have power dome behind their letter box, or along the side of the fence. David. Re: Western Power/Synergy Power dome behind a corner wall. 2Aug 03, 2009 8:02 pm gday david, i beleive i can help you bein a sparky western power shall only really need decent accessibility all around... if you can identify where the screws are (2 gold ones with triangular head) then especially make sure there is plenty of room around those sides, about a metre usually keeps them happy, thats what theyd like anyway, but it can be smaller if u wish, just make sure it is workable if they need to get into it hope this helps u out Re: Western Power/Synergy Power dome behind a corner wall. 3Aug 15, 2009 4:08 pm Mr Smith We need to get a dome (as we previously had o/h power). They want to put it on the RHS of our block (to share with next door) but we want to put it in the LHS. LHS neighbour is a triplex so they have their own dome. RHS is old house with o/h supply. Any tricks or tips to get them to put it on the LHS (other than paying the $2974 quoted)? Re: Western Power/Synergy Power dome behind a corner wall. 4Aug 15, 2009 4:23 pm hi dragon, well sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but theres nothing i can think of, other than a big open cheque book. haha unfortunately western power rules the roost and theres not alot you can do, mayb try talking to the council about it? but i doubt much can be done, especially with the LHS neighbour is a triplex, they dont want 4 houses off one dome. they work it all out so its balanced, so they only need to put in a minimal amount of domes and they are shared relatively equal. in the future they will probably want to change the RHS to underground too so they will go off that same dome that will share with your block... so i guess i cant help much, sorry, i cant think of anything at this point other than paying that quote...
