Trees and Powerlines

Keeping vegetation at least three metres away from powerlines provides a number of safety benefits.  This section provides you with information on how to manage vegetation near powerlines, as well as some suggestions on suitable landscaping for your property.

  • Tree and Vegetation Management

    Horizon Power works hard to maintain a balance between the environment and maintaining a reliable and safe power supply.

  • Planting Guide

    Horizon Power is strongly committed to responsible care for the environment. Tall trees and power lines do not mix.

  • Why should my trees be trimmed?

    Horizon Power recognises the value of trees in the environment and actively encourages a policy of growing the right tree in the right place.

  • Australian Natives

    Australia has a wealth of native plants which can enhance your garden.

  • Western Australian Natives

    Native plants are ideal features of gardens, and also offers the benefits of reduced water consumption.

  • Exotic Plants

    There is an extraordinary range of plants available in Australia from around the world. However, these introduced plants may have special requirements to grow and look their best.
