Temporary & Permanent Power Poles in Gold Coast

The Gold Coast is one of South East Queensland's fastest-growing construction corridors. From major developments in Robina, Coomera and Pimpama to residential builds across Burleigh Heads, Nerang and Ormeau, there's constant demand for reliable temporary power. Poles and Holes has been supplying builders' site power poles across the Gold Coast since 1960, with our own crane trucks handling delivery and installation, and licensed electricians building and certifying every pole at our depot.

We deliver temporary and permanent power pole installations to sites across the Gold Coast from our Capalaba depot, with delivery and installation scheduled after we confirm your address, site access and product availability. A travel surcharge of $10/km applies beyond our standard 40 km zone to cover the return trips involved. Solar camera bundles and portaloo hire on the Gold Coast are by enquiry only. The event-recording camera for our hired poles is coming soon and is not yet bookable — call (07) 3367 2237 or email admin@polesandholes.com.au and we'll let you know if we can support your site.

Solar camera bundle hire on the Gold Coast is by enquiry only. The complete bundle includes a dedicated pole, a solar panel and battery, a fixed spot camera aimed at your chosen priority area, such as an entry gate or material storage, and a pan/tilt site camera. Both cameras record continuously, 24/7, with event recording and 10-day playback. Recordings are deleted after 10 days. The fixed camera for our hired poles is coming soon and will record events only. We do not offer camera-only hire. A travel surcharge of $10/km applies beyond our standard 40 km zone.

Technical Specifications

Power Poles

Choose a temporary pole for site power during the build, or a permanent pole for the property connection. We confirm the configuration and installation requirements for your address.

Our temporary poles and permanent meter-box packages provide 63A single-phase or 63A per phase for three-phase supply.

Allow a clear access path at least 3 m wide for our trucks. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead obstructions so we can confirm access and placement before booking.

When to book your hire?

Timing is key for site establishment. Here is the recommended schedule for Gold Coast builds.

Plan delivery around your build and allow time for separate power connection and metering appointments. Confirm site requirements before booking.

Book Your Pole

Network applications are processed by the provider on their own timeframe. Book your temporary power pole early to avoid site-start delays.

How it works

We keep the hire process short for local builders.

Send your site details for a quote. We confirm the equipment and installation arrangements, including any work you need to arrange with your electrician, network or retailer.

1. Quote Online

Request a temporary or permanent power pole quote online or by phone. We confirm availability, site access and delivery costs in your quote.

2. Energex Paperwork

We lodge your Electrical Work Request (EWR) on your behalf and coordinate site access with you.

3. Gold Coast Install

Our crane truck arrives on site and installs the pole. Its meter box, RCD and outlets are fitted at our depot beforehand, so the visit typically takes 2–3 hours.

4. Energex Connection

Energex connection and retailer metering follow their own schedules. Contact us to off-hire a temporary pole when finished; permanent poles are sold.

Servicing All 31+ Gold Coast Suburbs

We service Gold Coast and surrounding areas. Delivery and installation dates are confirmed after we review your address, site access and product availability.

Location FAQs

We confirm Gold Coast delivery and installation dates after reviewing your address, site access and product availability. Send your required date with the enquiry so we can check the available delivery slots. Pole installation is separate from Energex connection and retailer metering. We lodge the Electrical Work Request; network and retailer schedules determine when power is available. Traffic control, where needed, is free but extends the timeframe.

Yes — Poles and Holes installs temporary and permanent power poles across the Gold Coast Hinterland, including Nerang, Mudgeeraba, Maudsland, Tamborine Mountain, Canungra and the Coomera valley. The Hinterland sits beyond our standard 40 km delivery zone, so a $10 per kilometre distance surcharge applies on top of the standard hire rate — that fee covers the four trips every pole hire involves: delivery to site, our return to depot, pickup at end of hire, and our return again. Steep, narrow or restricted-access Hinterland sites are common, so our crew assesses crane reach on the day and chooses the safest practical placement; we'll flag any access risk at quote stage. Same Energex network applies as the rest of the Gold Coast, so the connection paperwork is identical — just longer drive times to factor in.

Solar camera bundle hire on the Gold Coast is by enquiry only, with a minimum 84-day hire. The bundle includes two cameras with continuous 24/7 recording and 10-day playback. The event-recording camera for our hired poles is coming soon and is not yet bookable; no camera-only hire is offered. A $10/km travel surcharge applies beyond our standard 40 km zone. Portaloo hire on the Gold Coast sits outside our standard short-term delivery zone, so portaloos are by enquiry only too — call (07) 3367 2237 or email admin@polesandholes.com.au with your site address, dates and what you need, and we'll let you know if we can cover the job.

Temporary pole hire covers the agreed pole configuration and hire period for your Gold Coast site. Delivery and installation arrangements are itemised in the quote. We handle the agreed paperwork, including the EWR. Visits by our electricians for connection work are charged to you; network, retailer and metering charges are separate. Traffic control for the network connection is free but adds lead time. Stayless poles are coming soon.

Portaloo hire on the Gold Coast is by enquiry only. Send the address, hire dates, expected users and whether it is a worksite or event. Include access photos, venue delivery windows and any cleaning or servicing needs. We confirm product availability, delivery, collection and service costs before agreeing a booking. The standard delivery price does not apply to every regional address.

Construction toilets have a 28-day minimum with fortnightly servicing, subject to an agreed service route. Event toilets have a four-day minimum; extra days, transport and any ongoing servicing are separate. Sewer-connect units need suitable water and sewer connections arranged through your plumber, with cleaning and supplies arranged by you. Confirm availability for your address before choosing a setup.

Trailer-mounted toilets are pickup only from our Capalaba depot. Ask us to confirm availability, collection and return dates, and the loaded trailer specifications. Check your vehicle's towing limits and the site's access and placement before choosing this option. Collection and return are arranged with our Capalaba team.
