What a Defect Notice Actually Means
This relates to the wiring between the street or pole and your meter, work only a Level 2 ASP is licensed to touch. The network has flagged your consumer mains, point of attachment, or metering as non-compliant and it must be rectified.
Common Causes of a Defect Notice in Buff Point Homes
Ageing consumer mains
Buff Point's 1960s to 1980s housing stock often has original consumer mains that no longer meet current Ausgrid network standards.
A failed or corroded point of attachment
Salt-laden air off Budgewoi Lake corrodes the bracket connecting your service line to the house, a common trigger for a defect notice here.
Non-compliant or outdated metering
Older meter installations found during a routine network inspection can be flagged if they no longer meet current compliance requirements.
Renovation-triggered inspections
Renovations on older lakeside lots often prompt a network inspection, surfacing pre-existing mains or metering issues that need rectifying.
Is a Defect Notice Serious?
Usually it is a compliance matter rather than an emergency, but it flags a real underlying issue and should not be left until the deadline. Ignoring it can lead to further action from the network.
- A defect notice has a rectification deadline that should not be missed
- The underlying fault may involve ageing or corroded connections
- Only a Level 2 ASP can legally carry out the required repair
What To Do Right Now
Read the notice carefully and take these steps while you arrange a Level 2 ASP:
- Check the notice for the specific defect and the rectification deadline.
- Do not attempt to inspect or touch the mains, meter, or point of attachment yourself.
- Keep the notice and any reference number for your electrician.
- Avoid overloading the affected circuit until the defect is fixed.
- Call a Level 2 ASP (Lic #451348C) to arrange rectification before the deadline.
