Last year, a number of cable cuts have isolated communities from telephone services including the 000 number. Emergency services such as the Police, Ambulance and Fire Brigades have also been forced to rely on backup communication networks. Damaging community services is always inconvenient and can also have fatal
consequences.
Dial Before You Dig has recently released a new version of its online service making it even easier to request plans. The new service includes an improved searching capability making it easier to find the worksite and the display of property numbers on the maps confirms that you have found the right place. The service now supports the Firefox web browser in addition to Internet Explorer and the requirement for specific types of Java have been removed allowing more users to access the online service. Changes behind the scenes have also improved the performance of the online service making it faster to submit requests via the internet.
The user-friendly online service complements the 8am to 5pm telephone and fax services and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It also allows users to update their personal contact details and preset regular information fields.
