Election posters on power poles prohibited

Ahead of the State-Bi-Election for the seat of Kiama Federal Election on 13 September 2025, Endeavour Energy is reminding all candidates and political parties that attaching election posters to power poles, streetlights or other electricity network infrastructure is both unsafe and illegal.

Posting signs on power poles and other network equipment is strictly prohibited, as it breaches critical safety standards and endangers lives. These actions contravene several laws, including the Electricity Supply Act 1995, Electoral Act 2017, and the Graffiti Control Act 2008.

Endeavour Energy will remove and dispose of illegal signs, and offending candidates may be charged up to $150 per sign to cover removal costs.

The community can help keep the network safe by reporting unauthorised signs via our emergency line on 131 003. To assist with a prompt response, reports should include the street address, nearest cross street, a brief description of the sign, and - if possible - the pole number. This information helps ensure efficient and timely removal of illegal signage.
