What a Defect Notice Actually Means
A defect notice means Ausgrid has flagged non-compliant or unsafe consumer mains, a point of attachment, or metering at your property, the wiring between the street or pole and your meter. Under AS/NZS 3000, only a Level 2 ASP is licensed to rectify and certify it.
Common Causes of a Defect Notice in Boolaroo Homes
We see the same recurring issues flagged across the suburb's older housing stock and newer estate connections.
Ageing consumer mains
Original-era consumer mains on Boolaroo's pre-war cottages near Main Road can degrade below current standards over decades, prompting a network flag.
A failed or ageing point of attachment
Where the service line attaches to the house, corrosion or wear can render the connection non-compliant even if it still technically supplies power.
Outdated or non-compliant metering
Older meter installations that no longer meet current standards are a common defect, particularly on properties that have not upgraded in decades.
Unpermitted or incorrect prior work
Work carried out without proper certification, sometimes from years earlier, can surface as a defect during a routine Ausgrid inspection.
Is a Defect Notice Something to Worry About?
It is time-sensitive rather than an emergency, but ignoring it risks disconnection, so it is honest and important to act within the timeframe Ausgrid has given you.

What To Do Right Now
Take these steps while you arrange a Level 2 ASP:
- Read the defect notice carefully and note the rectification deadline.
- Do not attempt to inspect or fix the flagged wiring, mains, or metering yourself.
- Keep the notice paperwork on hand for your Level 2 ASP to reference.
- Do not ignore the notice, since a lapsed deadline can mean disconnection.
- Call a Level 2 ASP (Lic #451348C) to assess and rectify the fault.

How We Fix a Defect Notice in Boolaroo
Assessing the Notice

The Rectification
We carry out the repair or upgrade required, whether that is consumer mains, point of attachment, or metering work, to bring it back into compliance.
Certification & Sign-Off

Why This Is Common in Older Boolaroo Homes

Common questions
Defect Notice FAQs
