ESV are excited to announce they have launched their new website platform today.

This is the first public milestone in their program to transform their website and make it more accessible for industry and the broader community.

The new platform is more secure and consistent with other Victorian Government websites and provides a better user experience for those accessing the website via mobile and tablet devices.

The URL remains the same (esv.vic.gov.au), as does access to their portals such as ESVConnect and GasTrac. These applications will also be improved as the transformation program progresses.

There’s more to do

The next phase of the website redevelopment involves an upgrade of content to ensure consistency with accessibility standards.

Earlier in the year while pruning trees near uninsulated high voltage (HV) conductors on private property, a vegetation management worker had an incident where a branch broke and fell uncontrolled onto the HV conductors.

The worker was in an EWP and was intending to snap the branch off but the branch snapped before the worker had an opportunity to snap it off.

This had the potential to cause injuries, but fortunately no one was hurt.
