Terraces, townhouses and renewal
More than half of Kensington’s occupied dwellings are terraces, townhouses or semi-detached homes (ABS 2021).
The City of Melbourne’s Macaulay Structure Plan 2021 covers a 90-hectare renewal precinct across parts of Kensington and North Melbourne, planned as a mixed-use, mid-rise neighbourhood.

Good to know
Can you do the electrical for my renovation?
Yes. We handle renovation electrical from rough-in to fit-off, and because Task Trades also runs plumbing and construction, trades can be coordinated.
How disruptive is rewiring an older home?
It depends on roof and floor access. We plan routes first and can rewire in stages so parts of the house stay in use.
When should a switchboard be upgraded?
Before a renovation, when adding big appliances or air conditioning, or when the board has old fuses and no RCD protection. A photo of the board is a good starting point.
Can you work inside my apartment or unit?
Yes. We handle lighting, power, data and repairs inside the unit. Work on common property or shared switchboards usually needs owners corporation approval first.
