Power line clearing in Nowra and South Nowra
Keep powerlines clear and your property compliant with vegetation management across South Nowra, Nowra and the Shoalhaven. Accredited arborists plan each job using EWP, insulated tools and spotters, working to Endeavour Energy clearance rules: typically 0.5 m from insulated service lines, 2 m from uninsulated service lines, and an extra 0.5 m in bushfire prone areas. Work never occurs within the 3 m no go zone for untrained persons. Operations follow SafeWork NSW requirements, the Code of Practice for work near overhead power lines, and AS 4373 pruning standards to protect tree health, assets and public safety. Rapid scheduling and tidy results.
Safe, compliant vegetation clearance services
Qualified arborists clear vegetation around private service lines and network assets across Nowra, South Nowra and the Shoalhaven. Work starts with a documented risk assessment, selection of EWP or rope access, and a traffic and pedestrian plan where required. Crews follow Endeavour Energy clearance distances, AS 4373 pruning standards and SafeWork NSW rules. Inclusions: coordination of planned shutdowns if needed, secure work zone, removal and recycling of green waste, and before and after photos for your records. Exclusions: no work inside live no go zones; where isolation is required, we organise the network provider or refer accredited power line vegetation contractors. Compliance guidance aligns with Shoalhaven DCP settings, including local 45 Degree rule triggers.

Our powerline safe process
Safety is engineered into every step for Nowra, South Nowra and the wider Shoalhaven. Crews work to SafeWork NSW Code of Practice for overhead power lines, Australian Standard AS 4373 for amenity tree pruning, and Endeavour Energy clearance requirements. Jobs are pre planned with documented risk assessments, method statements and toolbox talks. No person, plant or equipment enters no go distances. The result is reliable clearance around private service lines and network assets, maintained tree health, and clear before and after records for compliance. Works are scheduled promptly to minimise disruption.

Shoalhaven rules permits and the 45 Degree provision
Tree work on private land in the Shoalhaven is guided by Council's Development Control Plan Chapter G4. Depending on species, risk and proximity to buildings and services, some pruning or removals require consent through the NSW Planning Portal, while specific exemptions may apply. Nowra Tree Service confirms the correct pathway early, so you know when approval is required and what evidence Council expects. Typical supporting material includes an arboricultural assessment, photographs, measured clearances to overhead lines, and a work method aligned with SafeWork NSW and AS 4373. Council has adopted changes to the local 45 Degree provision with the intent to commence on 21 March 2025. Before any works, we confirm the current status and apply the latest settings to your job. Near electricity assets, crews follow Endeavour Energy clearances, never enter no go zones, and coordinate isolation or traffic control if needed. The outcome is compliant, documented vegetation work with less delay and fewer variations.
