Sub mains in Kalamunda
The City of Kalamunda's planning policy allows ancillary dwellings (granny flats) of up to 70 m² on urban-zoned land and 100 m² on rural-zoned land, and the usual planning exemptions for sheds and granny flats don't apply in bushfire-prone areas, which covers almost all of Kalamunda. Once your building is approved, sub mains in Kalamunda are sized for the distance and load, with underground cable recommended where practical.

Your questions answered
Do I need a licensed electrician for a sub main to my shed?
Yes. All electrical work in WA must be done by a licensed electrical worker, and adding or upgrading a sub main is notifiable work. OTOLEC holds WA Electrical Contractor Licence EC16326.
Can my neighbour and I share a bore pump?
WA rules allow a shared pump to be supplied from either property, but only one supply may serve it at a time, a changeover-switch arrangement isn't acceptable, and a lockable isolating switch must sit next to the pump. A sub mains electrician can set this up correctly.
