High-voltage power lines
/v1/suburbs/{suburb_name}/risks/hv-power-lines5¢ per callWhether high-voltage transmission lines cross the suburb, how many, and the highest voltage class (overhead lines only).
Exact suburb identifier required. Exact ABS Suburb and Locality (SAL) name, e.g. Burwood (NSW) — many suburbs carry a state suffix. If starting from free text or an unverified bare name, first call GET /v1/geocode/suburb?q=<text>, then use the exact data[].area_name it returns. Suburb data endpoints do not guess a state or typo-correct names.
Price: 5¢ per call.

Successful Response
area_namestringalways returnedCanonical ABS SAL suburb name.
area_levelstringalways returnedAlways 'suburb'.
presentbooleanalways returnedTrue when at least one HV line crosses the suburb.
line_countintegeralways returnedTransmission-line features intersecting the suburb boundary.
max_kvintegermay be nullHighest voltage class among the intersecting lines, in kV (null when none intersect or the source carries no voltage class).
overhead_onlybooleanalways returnedUnderground segments are excluded from the count — only overhead (and unclassified) transmission is counted.
