EV Charging Infrastructure for Government and Large-Scale Projects
EV charging infrastructure support for councils, public sites and larger project-based environments across Melbourne.
Projects of this scale need clear scope, site-specific planning, compliance alignment and infrastructure thinking from the outset.
• Licensed REC electricians
• AS/NZS 3000 compliant
• Melbourne-based EV infrastructure specialists
Why Government and Large-Scale EV Projects Need a Different Approach
Government, council and larger shared-site EV charging projects are not just bigger versions of standard charger installs.
They often involve multiple stakeholders, procurement requirements, staged rollout planning, site-specific constraints and higher documentation expectations.
Without proper scoping at the start, these projects can become harder to deliver, harder to certify and more expensive to expand later.
Project types we support
Aether Installations supports EV charging infrastructure across public, commercial and shared-access environments where clear scope, staged planning and compliant delivery are critical.
We regularly work with:
Local councils and government-managed facilities
Public infrastructure and community sites
Workplace and commercial charging installations
Fleet and depot charging environments
Multi-site and staged infrastructure rollouts
Car parks and shared-access charging systems
Each project is approached around site requirements, user demand, infrastructure constraints and long-term rollout practicality.
Project capability
We support EV charging projects from early feasibility through to installation planning, delivery and handover, with a focus on clear scope, compliance and practical infrastructure outcomes.
Our capability includes:
Site assessment and feasibility
We assess site conditions, electrical capacity and infrastructure constraints before the delivery path is defined.Infrastructure planning
We plan EV charging systems around how the site will actually operate, including staged expansion where required.System design and charger selection
We recommend charger types and system configurations suited to the project, not generic one-size-fits-all templates.Installation delivery
Installations are completed by our licensed REC electricians with structured scope control and documentation.Testing and commissioning
Systems are tested, commissioned and checked before final handover.Compliance and certification
Required compliance documentation and certification are provided at completion.
Project delivery approach
Our delivery approach is designed to reduce ambiguity, avoid rework and maintain clear scope across the project lifecycle.
Step 1 - Scope and assessment
We review the site, electrical capacity and project requirements to establish feasibility, constraints and likely delivery needs.
Step 2 - Design and proposal
We define the infrastructure approach, charger strategy, installation method and any staged rollout requirements.
Step 3 - Installation delivery
Installations are completed by our licensed REC electricians with controlled scope and clear communication.
Step 4 - Commissioning and handover
Systems are tested, certified and handed over with the relevant documentation.
Compliance and standards
All EV charging installations are delivered in accordance with relevant electrical and safety requirements.
This includes:
Installations completed by our licensed REC electricians
Compliance with AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules
Electrical safety testing and certification
Site-specific safety and compliance requirements
Where required, project-specific compliance documentation can be provided to support procurement, approval and handover requirements.
Why Aether Installations
EV charging infrastructure is not standard electrical work. Poorly scoped projects can lead to capacity limitations, charger performance issues, documentation gaps and avoidable rework.
Aether Installations focuses specifically on EV charging, which means projects are assessed properly before installation begins and structured around real site requirements.
We reduce risk by:
defining scope before installation begins
assessing systems around actual site conditions
delivering installations by our licensed REC electricians
maintaining clear documentation and communication
planning infrastructure for long-term use and staged growth
Tender and procurement support
For procurement-led projects, structured documentation and practical EV charging input can be provided to support internal review, early planning and supplier assessment.
Support includes:
scope clarification and technical input
site feasibility and infrastructure advice
installation methodology and staging input
compliance and certification documentation
capability statements and supporting information
We can engage early in the planning stage to help define practical EV charging infrastructure pathways before delivery is locked in.
-
Yes. EV charging can be installed across a wide range of public and government-managed sites, including council facilities, car parks, depots and community infrastructure.
The approach depends on site conditions, electrical capacity and how the charging will be used. Each project is typically scoped to ensure the system is practical, compliant and scalable.
-
Projects are scoped through an initial assessment of the site, including electrical capacity, layout and charging requirements.
This allows the charging system to be designed properly before installation, reducing the risk of capacity issues, rework or performance limitations.
-
In some cases, yes.
Upgrades depend on the available capacity at the site and the number and type of chargers being installed. Where upgrades are required, they are identified during the assessment phase and incorporated into the project scope.
-
Yes.
Many projects are delivered in stages to allow for future expansion. This approach enables infrastructure to be installed now, with additional chargers added as demand increases.
-
Timeframes vary depending on project size, site complexity and scope.
Smaller installations may be completed relatively quickly, while larger or multi-site projects require staged planning and coordination.
Clear scope definition early in the process helps avoid delays during delivery.
-
Aether Installations manages and coordinates EV charging projects, with installation delivered through appropriately licensed electricians.
This ensures all electrical work is carried out by qualified professionals, with certification provided in line with regulatory requirements.
-
Depending on project requirements, Aether can provide:
Capability statement
Company and business details
Insurance documentation
Safety and WHS information
Project methodology
Electrical certification at completion
Additional documentation can be supplied where required for procurement or compliance.
-
Yes.
Aether can assist with early-stage scope clarification, feasibility input and documentation required for procurement processes, including RFQ, RFT and EOI stages.
-
The first step is typically an initial discussion or site assessment.
This allows project requirements, site constraints and charging objectives to be reviewed before defining the appropriate infrastructure approach.
-
Submit a project enquiry with available site details, drawings or project information.
From there, Aether will review the requirements and advise on the appropriate next step, whether that is a feasibility assessment, scope development or project proposal.
