Consumer pole replacement in Midland
At the 2021 Census about a third of Midland's homes were separate houses, and most residents rent. If you rent and receive a Western Power defect notice for a pole, pass it to your landlord or property manager straight away: the pole is the owner's responsibility, and the notice gives either 30 or 90 days. Owners planning consumer pole replacement in Midland can choose galvanised steel, fibre-reinforced cement or CCA-treated timber, or an underground supply.

Your questions answered
Who is responsible for the power pole on my property?
The property owner. Western Power inspects the first private pole, but maintaining and replacing every private pole and line on the property is the owner's responsibility. Where a pole is shared, all the owners sharing it are responsible.
I'm renting and got a defect notice. What should I do?
Forward it to your landlord or property manager straight away, since replacing the pole is the owner's responsibility.
Do you travel to Midland for consumer pole replacement?
Yes. We take enquiries from across City of Swan, and Midland is around 35 km from our Chidlow base. Share the property location and access details by phone or email so attendance can be discussed.
