Hello everyone, I'd like to start a conversation about the process of replacing power poles privately. Anyone with recent experience who could share some insights?

Hi PoleMaster, I’ve just gone through this process. It’s vital to first know whether the defect notice came directly from Western Power. Getting this sorted will help you know how to proceed.
Adding to what StormSentry said, consider the weather conditions in Perth. Scheduling your installations when the weather is more predictable is key to avoiding delays.
An important aspect is choosing the appropriate pole material. Different materials like wood or steel have distinct advantages and drawbacks. Ensure you consult your contractor the most suitable choice for your particular situation.
I'd like to emphasize the importance of finding an experienced installer. Your choice can greatly influence the outcome of the installation. Review their credentials and past projects to verify they’re capable.
Thanks for all the great advice. I'll be considering all these aspects as I plan my next steps. Any last-minute advice before I start this project?
