The following extract from the Service & Installation Rules (NSW) answers your query:
4.2 LOCATION AND ACCESSIBILITY OF SERVICE AND METERING EQUIPMENT
Service metering equipment must be located in an accessible area on common property.
The customer must make sure that access to any enclosure for meters or service and metering equipment is never restricted or made unsafe. The location must always be kept clear.
If access is obstructed the customer must remove the obstruction or relocate the service and metering equipment.
Keep rooms dedicated to housing service and metering equipment well lit, clean and unobstructed. Do not use them for storage of materials or equipment.
The door(s) of rooms and enclosures housing metering equipment must be labelled “Electricity Meters” or “Meter Room”.
Make sure the metering and load control equipment is easily accessible to electricity distributor officers within normal electricity distributor working hours.
