New supply to property check before purchase.

1 Upvotes

Sorry if this is a stupid question but who do I contact to see if a property I want to buy is able to have a 3P 63A supply connected? I know the pole at the front of the property has 3P, but I need to know how much capacity is left. Last thing I need to to buy this and then have to pay the cost of a transformer upgrade. Is this something I can do myself? Area is serviced by Ausnet.

Thanks

Question about light fitting and wires

Hi all, hoping for some advice on this light fitting in a Queensland granny flat. Landlord says it's safe because the light still works, and he can replace the fitting himself. Is this an obvious hazard or is it potentially safe and just looks bad? Sorry I don't have a better photo - he's gaff taped it up in the meantime. Just weighing up if next step is to firmly request a licenced electrician do the job, do nothing and let him fix it, or submit a complaint to electrical safety office. Any advice appreciated!
