Neighbours Electricity Meter and Switchboard on My Property

I've recently purchased a block of land and discovered that my neighbour's electricity meter and switchboard are in the middle of my block. They have a wide street frontage, so there is no reason for it to have been installed on my property.

 

Who is responsible for relocating the meter (assuming the subsequent switchboard will also be relocated at the same time)?

 

Given this meter (and switchboard) was not installed on the side of the neighbours house, I cannot understand why the installer would not have checked boundaries to ensure the meter (and switchboard) being installed were on the neighbours land. 

 

It all looks a bit dodgey to me, as they are powering their "house" using an extension lead to this switchboard.

You will need to contact the company that manages the electricity supply in your area. AGL is an electricity retailer. They do not manage the distribution at a local level.

 

I am in North Coast of NSW and here it is Essential Energy that manages my area.
