A Line Owner Commits an Offence If:
- it fails to give the information notice to its electricity consumers; or
- it becomes aware of a tree encroaching a growth limit zone in respect of a line belonging to it and fails, without reasonable excuse, to give a cut or trim notice to the tree owner in respect of that tree.
It is proposed that a summary conviction would result in a fine not exceeding $10,000 and, if the offence is a continuing one, a further fine not exceeding $500 for every day or part of a day during which the offence has continued.
