What is a New Estate Connection?
If you’re negotiating to establish multiple supply points for your proposed residential subdivision (a greenfield development and/or staged development of an existing residential subdivision) this application is the right one for you.
You can select the contestability option at the application stage, including your Accredited Service Provider (ASP) you are intending to engage for design purposes. If you’re not ready to select your ASP at this stage, you’ll have an option to download a list and can advise us of your choice after you have submitted your application.
Note: Any design and construction contractors involved in establishing multiple supply points must be accredited by AusNet Services. This accreditation recognises that they have been assessed to have the skills and the knowledge to carryout works on the AusNet Services network to our technical, quality and safety standards.
You must pay a fee to proceed with this application and obtain either a firm or interconnection offer.
If you wish to obtain an indicative price for your proposed residential subdivision, select the Preliminary Estimate option on the application. You must answer “Yes” for AusNet Services to provide both Design and Construction Services to obtain a Preliminary Estimate.
Preliminary Estimates are indicative, meaning the price generated is an office-based assessment. A Preliminary Estimate is valid for 30 days and has an upfront, non-refundable* fee.
*Note: Preliminary Estimate fees paid are not refundable, however, will be deducted from the cost of the electricity supply works if you proceed with the proposal.
