Wellington North Power has a legal obligation to manage vegetation around all Wellington North Power owned overhead conductors including secondary.

There have been a number of incidents and public safety concerns due to trees in direct contact with powerlines. The Electrical Safety Authority is also concerned that the number of powerline contacts by DIY homeowners and arborist trimming trees near powerlines continues to increase.
