clarify the purposes for which a streetlight network code can be developed; and provide the Minister for Transport and City Services with the power to approve a framework agreement between the ACT government and the ACT electricity distributor, as a mechanism for providing high level guidance and direction about managing the critical infrastructure interface between the streetlight network and the electricity distribution network.
The bill also includes proposed amendments to the Electrical Safety Act that would clarify the technical wiring standards that apply in the ACT, in particular in relation to the upgrading of streetlight assets. The amendment does not change the wiring standards that apply in the territory to the streetlight network, but rather clarifies for streetlight service providers how they can be compliant with the relevant wiring standards.
The amendments contained within this bill will help ensure that a robust regulatory framework is in place to support the future management of the territory’s streetlight network. I commend the Utilities (Streetlight Network) Legislation Amendment Bill 2017 to the Assembly.
Debate (on motion by Mr Coe) adjourned to the next sitting.
