Map of planned works

The interactive map below shows when and where network inspections and maintenance are planned.

You can also type in your address in the search bar of the map to find out if works are planned near your property.

The key shows different types of works. You can click the ‘tick’ next to each work type to hide and show different works.

Works which do not impact the majority of landowners along a transmission line may not be shown. Major project areas are shown for reference.

Update your contact details

Correct landowner contact details are important to us so we can let you know in advance of works we may need to undertake. If you have an easement on your property and would like to update or confirm your details please click here.

If you want more information about works or want to provide property access requirements or sensitivities please reach out to our community team on 1800 222 537 or via email community@transgrid.com.au

Network inspections and maintenance

Transgrid undertakes ground and aerial inspections to identify safety risks to the network and actions any necessary maintenance to keep the network safe and reliable.

We work to communicate effectively with landowners to inform them of upcoming works and look to minimise impacts to property owners.

Some of the ways we keep the network safe and reliable include carrying out:

  • climbing inspections to assess the condition of lines and towers
  • annual aerial vegetation surveys to identify trees and shrubs growing too close to lines and associated infrastructure. These will be conducted February to April 2026 across the Transgrid network at approximately 500m above ground level.
  • vegetation management to maintain safety clearances
  • thermographic surveys using a helicopter to assess the condition of lines
  • inspections of lines and towers using drones
  • routine inspections of lines, structures and easements
  • inspections of wooden poles to assess their condition and replacing old poles as needed
  • refurbishment works where elements of lines and towers are replaced and easements and easement access is managed
  • Smart Aerial Imagery Processing (SAIP) to assess the condition of conductors.

Helicopter patrols

Every year, specialist helicopter patrols check more than 13,000 kms of transmission lines and infrastructure across our statewide network.

Transgrid has now launched its 2026 Aerial Patrol Program. This essential program helps the team check our electrical structures and lines to ensure the continued safe operation of our network.

  • February and March - helicopters equipped with aerial imaging equipment will fly in either direction, high above our transmission lines in Sydney Metro and Tamworth.
  • May, June and September - aerial inspections will take place in Wagga, Yass, Orange and Newcastle, with a helicopter flying closer to the transmission line and towers (where possible and safe to do so) so our linespersons are able to visually check the condition of the structures and lines.
  • July – aerial thermography patrols will fly above the transmission lines using specialist equipment to check for signs of heat (energy) release.

Smart aerial tech improving network safety

Our team is taking to the skies with Raedyne Systems, using Smart Aerial Imagery Processing (SAIP) to inspect high-voltage transmission lines conductors across NSW and the ACT. With advanced cameras and AI-driven analysis, we can detect wear early and act before issues arise — keeping power flowing safely and reliably for our communities.
