Bringing Jetties Up to Standard in Patterson Lakes: Electrical Compliance Made Easy

If you live along the waterways of Patterson Lakes, chances are your jetty is more than just a place to moor the boat — it’s a part of your everyday lifestyle.

But did you know that many older jetties no longer meet the electrical safety standards set out by Melbourne Water?

At Ferguson Electrical, we’ve been working with homeowners across Patterson Lakes to bring jetties back into compliance — and ensure they’re safe, legal, and up to spec.

⚠️ What’s going on?

Melbourne Water has been auditing waterfront jetties to ensure electrical installations meet current safety regulations. Many homeowners have recently received compliance letters requesting action to either upgrade or disconnect non-compliant power setups.

If you've received one, don’t stress — we can handle it from start to finish.

✅ What’s involved in a compliance upgrade?

Our team of qualified electricians can:

• Disconnect unsafe or non-compliant jetty power
• Install new IP-rated power points and fittings
• Upgrade jetty lighting for both safety and style
• Perform RCD testing and ensure correct circuit protection
• Issue a Certificate of Electrical Safety (COES) on completion

We also liaise directly with Melbourne Water and understand exactly what’s needed to get the green light. We don’t guess — we get it done right.
