The retailer in our situation kept saying that they removed the electricity from our house, that was right to a point, there was no power to the house. However the wires, and meter box where still there. And the retailer would not send off our request to the wholesaler because they thought nothing had to be done. It wasn't until we rang them a few times asking why it hadn't been done, and the demolisher rung them they did something about it. It took about 6-8 weeks. The power pit took about 5 weeks. The gas was removed within a week. A good thread to start would be "how long did it take to abolish gas and electricity so you could demolish you old house" hubby, kids and me all waiting for the Amberlea Site Cut 27 September 2011 https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=46637 http://www.dscml.com/ Demolition, salvaging home 19Oct 16, 2011 2:51 pm edscl the retailer and the wholesaler don't communicate properly.

A good thread to start would be "how long did it take to abolish gas and electricity so you could demolish you old house" SpAusNet had the underground electricity done in three working days of making the call and faxing through the request for my place. That entailed going under the road on a diagonal to get to the communal boundary where they put the pit. As for removal of the electricity, ignore the retailer completely apart from a final reading. Go straight to the distributor, deal with the section that most resembles "new connections" as that seems to be who does removals as well and if faxing through a request to any service provider, get the fax machine to spit out a transmission report. Re: Demolition, salvaging home in Melbourne 20Jun 03, 2014 11:49 am Our demolition will be occurring in the next couple of weeks (in Ashburton, Melbourne). Our demolisher is still to take the bricks, floorboards and tiles but after that is finished, there will essentially just be a shell of a house left on the block. Everything else was available for us to salvage if we wanted. After our neighbours took a few items from the house (eg wood heater and kitchen), we employed the Melbourne-based company Sell4You to sell everything else that could be salvaged. Our salvage day occurred last weekend, and I can recommend this company to people in Melbourne. On the nominated pickup day, we had approx 15 different groups come to the property and remove items (like doors, windows, toilets etc). Someone even bought the laundry and dug up the box hedge in the front yard. The company organised everything, although we chose to be present on the day to assist the purchasers carry material to their utes (it was quite fun actually). I wanted the house salvaged to reduce the amount of material going to landfill, so making money wasn't the primary objective. However, we did make almost $1000 from the process. I think the most important reason to use a company like this is that they provide public liability insurance for the process also. I had some difficulty working out how to salvage the old house, so I hope this post is helpful to someone else in Melbourne.
