Hi good Perth people,
We are in the process of building our first home and have had a good look at many forums and spoken to third party electricians, subdivision experts etc, but we are yet to get a straight answer to our querie. Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere but I simply could not find the info and it has been difficult to get a straight answer.
We are building SOR on a strata title, and there has been some confusion with our electrical connection to the block. To save time (hopefully) I have included a diagram that shows roughly how the power was at the beginning.
Basically, there was no power run from the existing pillar (bottom left) to the top of our driveway, and so we were invoiced for over 3k to bore under the footpath and get the power to the top of our driveway.
There is an easement along the front of the property. Our builder also informed us that the developer had run electricity down the left hand side boundary - but that is another issue I think, as there is no easement there.
The confusion for me is around what should or should not have been set up initially in terms of power. The answers that I have gotten are conflicting and vague. Should the developer have run power to the top of our driveway, or is it my responsibility to pay? I have spoken to the developer (previous land owner), and they say that their responsibility was only to provide an isolation point, but I am after a second or third opinion
Thanking you in advance
