Building in Springfield
Greater Springfield is a master-planned city still releasing new stages, with building across Springfield Lakes, Augustine Heights, Spring Mountain, Brookwater and Redbank Plains. Much of the building here is new homes on estate lots, from volume builders running several sites to owner-builders on one.
Many Springfield estates have underground street supply, so an underground connection pole is the usual choice for a new build. Your electrician confirms the supply type for your lot. On new streets with few neighbours, a solar camera bundle records the site 24/7, with 10-day playback.
How hire works in Springfield
- 01
Send your site details
Your address, dates and whether the street supply is overhead or underground. For mainland addresses within the product's online delivery zone, the form shows the delivery fee. For islands or sites outside that zone, our office confirms availability and delivery pricing.
- 02
We deliver and install
On the date confirmed in your quote. Our truck needs a clear path at least 3 m wide, so tell us about gates, slopes and overhead obstructions.
- 03
We lodge the Energex paperwork
We lodge the Connect Application and EWR and email you the EWR number. Your retailer uses it to book the connection and the meter, and Energex usually connects the pole 2–4 weeks after the EWR.
- 04
Servicing and pickup
Construction portaloos are pumped out and restocked every fortnight. When you finish, contact us to off-hire and we collect the equipment.
Book power at least 4 weeks before you need it. Energex usually connects the pole 2–4 weeks after the EWR.
Long-term hire is invoiced monthly after delivery. Builders running several sites can apply for a credit account, normally on 30-day terms. Apply for an account
A flat fee, or a few kilometres more
Springfield sits near the edge of the 40 km zone by road, so some sites pay the flat fee and others a few kilometres of distance charge. Event portaloos past 40 km are by enquiry.
