The aircraft landing area did not have clearly defined threshold markings making the mown undershoot area difficult to distinguish from the airstrip.
Threshold is marked and undershoot markings are in place.
The owner of the aircraft landing area (ALA) has advised that as a result of this accident, a number of steps have been taken to minimise the likelihood of further wirestrikes. These include making a number of changes to the existing procedures and documents and enhanced marking of the threshold and undershoot areas.
The ATSB is satisfied that the action taken by the owner of the ALA adequately addresses this safety issue.
