Working with landholders

Landholders across South Australia with ElectraNet assets on their properties can save 75 per cent on the cost of native seedlings, tree guards and stakes through a partnership between ElectraNet and Trees For Life.

Under the discounted offer, landholders can buy bulk seedlings for windbreaks, habitat for wildlife, shade, attracting pollinators, and to manage salinity and soil erosion.

Trees For Life offers native species for 42 different zones throughout SA, ensuring seedlings are specifically suited to the different regions. The species include trees, shrubs, grasses and groundcovers, and Trees For Life is also able to provide advice with selecting the most suitable plants.

Participants can order materials to grow seedlings themselves or request assistance from one of Trees For Life’s volunteer growers to raise seedlings over summer ready for planting in autumn next year.

Landholders need to be current members of Trees For Life and can order up to 500 plants, stakes and tree guards under the subsidy. Orders are still open and can be made until 31 August 2019.

Membership of Trees For Life costs $25 – $55 annually. To download an order form or join Trees For Life landholders can visit treesforlife.org.au/resources. For more information or hard copies, call Trees For Life on (08) 8406 0500 or email info@treesforlife.org.au

ElectraNet’s priority is to engage openly, honestly, cooperatively and respectfully with our landholders to ensure mutually beneficial outcomes. Each landholder we work with is different, therefore engagement is undertaken through a variety of methods including face-to-face meetings, phone calls, letters and email.

ElectraNet requires regular access to assets located on landholder properties to meet its legislated requirements. Written notification will be provided to the occupier prior to access, with the exception of emergency situations.

ElectraNet also have a number of landholder ‘special requirements’ that ElectraNet and its contractors are required to meet. Special requirements are conditions that a landholder and ElectraNet agree upon that can include property/easement access arrangements, biosecurity requirements such as vehicle wash-down and aerial inspections.
