What matters for electrical in Darwin
A Northern Territory licensed electrician must complete a Certificate of Compliance for electrical work under the Electricity Reform Act 2000 and the Electricity Reform (Safety and Technical) Regulations 2000. Power and Water will not connect supply to an installation without a copy of that certificate, so it matters for new builds and reconnections.
