("Council")

RECITALS

A. The Council is a duly constituted body corporate under the Local Government Act 1999 and has statutory functions to provide services and facilities that benefit its area including the provision of electricity and the installation of road lighting.

B. ETSA is, by licence issued under section 23 of the Act, authorised to operate the Distribution Network and has agreed to provide the Council with Public Lighting Services in a manner that is consistent with its obligations under the Electricity Distribution Code and the EPO.

C. Accordingly, ETSA and the Council wish to enter into a written agreement to:

(a) set out the terms and conditions for the provision of Public Lighting Services by ETSA to the Council;

(b) establish minimum and supplementary standards (where agreed); and

(c) specify the performance criteria required of ETSA as the service provider and the obligations of the Council as the customer for those services.

D. Public Lighting Services to be provided by ETSA are not uniform throughout the area of the Council and different requirements are placed on ETSA depending on the nature of the Public Lighting Asset concerned, namely:

(a) (i) ETSA may own Public Lighting Assets, including overhead lighting assets located in publicly accessible roads, footpaths and park lands where existing overhead mains are present in the park lands. In these situations ETSA provides the Council with Public Lighting Services by installing bracket arms, street lights and associated equipment on existing stobie poles to illuminate such roads, footpaths and park lands.

(ii) ETSA also owns a standard range of Public Lighting equipment including lighting poles and street lights to provide Public Lighting. The range of lighting poles includes the "gooseneck" outreach and post top style that are either galvanised, painted or powder-coated and fed by means of underground electricity supply.

(iii) The standard range of Public Lighting equipment is detailed in ETSA's Technical Standard TS101 – Lighting Design Standard for Overhead & Underground Networks.

Page 2 ::ODMA\DME-MSE\LGA-28085

(b) (i) The Council may also own Public Lighting Assets that it has designed and installed in accordance with relevant Australian Standards. The Council is responsible for the management of its Public Lighting Assets. The Public Lighting Assets owned by the Council are known as CLER type or Energy-Only type.

(ii) In the case of CLER type installations ETSA is only required to carry out lamp replacements and the cleaning of Council owned Luminaires and the provision of any other services specified in the Schedules to this Agreement.

(iii) Luminaires installed by Council that comply with relevant sections of ETSA's Technical Standard TS101 – Lighting Design Standard for Overhead & Underground Networks and the relevant Australian Standards at the time they are installed are approved by ETSA for connection to the electricity supply point.

(iv) Council can decide to install its own Public Lighting Assets and arrange for these to be on a CLER Tariff, where the Luminaire is approved by ETSA; an Energy-Only Tariff or metered supply. Unless otherwise agreed with ETSA, the Council is responsible for all maintenance, repair or replacement requirements for Public Lighting Assets connected on an Energy-Only Tariff or metered supply basis.

(v) All Public Lighting Assets owned by the Council must be clearly identified as such in a manner agreed between ETSA and the Council and disclosed to ETSA in a Council maintained asset register of Council owned Public Lighting Assets.

E. This Agreement does not apply to:

(a) any undergrounding of elements of the Distribution Network referred to in Recital B undertaken in accordance with a program administered by the Power Line Environment Committee; or

(b) any lamps, lighting poles or other public lighting infrastructure under the care, control or management of the Commissioner of Highways.

If the approved design exceeds 6 but is less than 12 Luminaires then the period for construction work of that approved design is extended to 80 Business Days. Projects larger than 12 Luminaires will be constructed in a time frame agreed between the Council and ETSA. All time frames are subject to the Council having completed all necessary civil work prior to ETSA being due to commence construction.

(c) In situations where the Council has carried out a public safety risk assessment and determines that construction work is required to be commenced as a matter of urgency in advance of a program agreed with ETSA under clause 11.6.3(a) or (b) then the parties agree to negotiate in good faith to program that construction work having regard to such risk assessment.

(d) If an agreed program for construction work is likely to be delayed ETSA shall if possible notify the Council in writing at least 15 Business Days before such construction work is due to commence and otherwise as soon as is practicable of the reasons for the anticipated delay and, either at that time or if not possible as soon as is practicable thereafter submit a proposal for a revised program. ETSA will provide such additional information concerning the delay as the Council may reasonably require.

(e) In the circumstances outlined in clause 11.6.3(d) the parties shall use their best endeavours to agree on a revised program for the construction work.
