Frequently Asked Questions
Before applications open, you must complete these steps:
Select an intended new charging site or an existing charging station for upgrade. Upgrades can only be done by the current Charge Point Operator or site owner.
For new charging sites: Ensure you have ownership or permission from the site owner and identify if you will require planning approvals to alter the site, including laying concrete pads, trenching, cabling and installation, and ongoing operation of the charging infrastructure.
For existing charging stations: Ensure you have ownership or permission from the site owner as required.
Have an early engagement meeting with TasNetworks to discuss the suitability of the intended charging site or upgrade.
This is a mandatory step before applying for the program.
