Before you dig
Any project, small or large, has the potential to damage underground assets, leading to power outages delays and in the worst-case scenario, injury or death.
How Before You Dig works
Before You Dig Australia is a free, not for profit service that aims to prevent damage and disruption to Australia’s underground pipes and cables.
When you lodge an enquiry with the Before Your Dig service, you’ll gain access to plans and information directly from utility services such as gas, water, telecommunications, and electricity networks likes us.
We recommend submitting your request as early as possible in the planning phase. Note that responses are valid for 28 days.
