The Central Highlands Regional Council is leading the way by actively participating in the Plant Smart program to help you choose the right plants for planting near power lines. This ensures that the trees won’t grow into power lines, potentially disrupting the power supply to you and your neighbours and bringing live power lines to the ground in a storm or windy conditions. It also ensures Ergon Energy’s tree management contractors won’t have to remove a tree that you’ve come to love.
