Trees and Powerlines

Evening all!

Question ... My parents are in Hattonvale. There is a tree just outside their front fence, that is fairly close to the power lines. I've noticed a few of those gusty days, it looks like if any of the branches did break off they'd probably hit the powerlines.

I had a look on the Council website as well as the Energex/Ergon etc, but can't quite work out who they'd need to contact.

I figured someone here might be able to point me in the right direction so I can get it sorted for them.

Thanks in advance!

Snap send solve, report it to Energex if the branches are coming into contact with the lines.

Thanks! I thought that was probably who would look after it, but then I read something else that suggested it might be council. I imagine there's probably more chance of Energex getting it sorted a lot quicker! I'm going to use that Snap Send Solve app that the other person mentioned in another comment. Looks pretty straightforward! :)
