    Has anyone had a powerpole moved from front of their investment property?

    I have one in the middle of my section(at front on pavement) which I'm hoping to get moved so to put in a double garage.
    I presume at my cost this can be done but wondering if anyone has done it and has an idea of rough price?
    Looks like phone /cable fibre and power all running off it.
    Do I start with council or power companies?all ideas greatly received and appreciated!

    I had one moved, but it was at the cost of the owner next door. It was in between both our drive-ways and he was doing a massive reno in Mt Eden so moved it. I know it was very expensive, ten thousand rings a bell but I'm not sure exactly.

    I believe you need to deal with the electricity network owner.

        Jamus, i know the kindie where my kids went had to move a pole. Cost them about $30k. Lines companies in Wellington (wellington electricity together with North Power) are creaming their monopoly status to the max. I know power companies like sticking cables underground these days if its possible, at your cost of course, but it may be cheaper than moving a pole. I have some people i can refer you to for advice if you want.
