Essential Energy has advised that they will conduct an urgent low-level flyover inspection of the network using a helicopter in proximity of Wyrallah Road between Woodburn and Lismore today (Wednesday, 10 December), from 10am.

This work is part of their ongoing commitment to maintain a safe and reliable electricity network.

Customers in the aerial inspection zone have been notified by SMS. Essential Energy encourages all customers to check with their electricity retailer to ensure contact details are up to date.

Low-flying aircraft can startle livestock, particularly cattle and horses. For safety, if possible, please move animals away from powerline corridors and secure gates before the inspection.

If customers have any concerns, special requirements, or flight restrictions on their property, they should contact Essential Energy on 13 23 91.
