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 and in-house electricians handling every step from Energex paperwork to on-site installation.
We deliver temporary and permanent power pole installations to sites across the Gold Coast from our Capalaba depot, with most poles installed within 48 hours of booking. A distance surcharge applies beyond our standard 40 km zone to cover the return trips involved. Portaloo and security camera hire on the Gold Coast is available by enquiry only — call (07) 3367 2237 or email admin@polesandholes.com.au and we'll let you know if we can support your site.

Location FAQs
Once Energex has processed the Form 2 application (usually 3–5 business days), we can typically have a temporary power pole installed on a Gold Coast site within 48 hours. We submit the Energex paperwork on your behalf so you don't have to deal with them directly. Call our office on (07) 3367 2237 for urgent jobs.
Yes, for temporary and permanent power poles. We install at hinterland sites including Nerang, Mudgeeraba, Maudsland and the Coomera corridor. A distance surcharge of $10 per kilometre beyond our standard 40 km zone applies to cover the four trips involved — delivery and return, plus pickup and return.
Portaloo and security camera hire on the Gold Coast is available by enquiry only — the Gold Coast sits outside our standard short-term delivery zone. Call (07) 3367 2237 or email admin@polesandholes.com.au with your site address and requirements, and we'll let you know if we can support your job.
Every temporary power pole we supply comes with a compliant meter box, RCD safety switch, standard outlets and earthing — tested and tagged to Australian Standards (AS3000, AS3012) and the Queensland Electricity Connection Manual. We handle the Energex Form 2 lodgement so power is connected within 5–10 business days of install. You deal with your electricity retailer directly for billing once the EWR is issued.
