CitiPower standard drawings & connection standards
CitiPower is the electricity distributor for Melbourne's CBD and inner suburbs. If you're doing connection, metering or supply work on its network, CitiPower's standard drawings and network technical standards are the rules that apply on the network side of the meter. Here's where to find the official documents — we link to them, we don't host them.
Contractor access
Technical standards (contractor portal) ↗CitiPower's own technical standards and work-practice drawings live on a registration-gated contractor portal; the public installation rules are the VESI/VSIR.
What these cover
On CitiPower's network across Melbourne's CBD and inner suburbs, the standard drawings and network standards set out how the connection between the network and an installation must be built — service and point-of-attachment arrangements, metering and CT positions, underground and overhead service rules, pillar and pit details, and clearances. CitiPower keeps the full set on a contractor portal, so you may need to register to reach every drawing. They sit alongside the wiring rules (AS/NZS 3000) and Victoria's installation rules (administered by Building and Plumbing Commission (Victoria)), and they're revised periodically — always work from CitiPower's current published version, not a saved copy.
