Additional information you need to know

If you’re application is in relation to subdividing your land, there are a few conditions you need to meet before you can request clearance from the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) or complete your built strata development. If we have asked you to apply for a new connection in order to meet our condition(s), it’s handy for us to know if it’s linked to a subdivision so we can collate all the right information to ensure the right checks and balances are undertaken.


 

What to include with your application

Permission from your strata company (if applicable)

Before applying to upgrade your connection, strata lot owners should first seek permission from their strata company to use an allocation of the total network capacity allocated to the strata scheme.

Revenue offset

If a customer would like to be considered for revenue offset, some information is required at the technial assessment stage. See our revenue offset FAQs for more information.

 

Your support documents will help us determine the future increase in electricity consumption at your site so we can confidently apply revenue offset to subsidise the upfront customer contribution.
