About Westmeadows

One of the area’s early townships

The Victorian Heritage Database lists the bluestone bridge over the Moonee Ponds Creek at Westmeadows, part of the area’s early road network from the 1860s.

Today three in four occupied dwellings are separate houses and a third are owned outright (ABS 2021). Long-held homes often still have older switchboards and wiring.

76.9% Separate houses
22.3% Townhouses, terraces & semi-detached
0.8% Flats & apartments
33.7% Owned outright

FAQ

Questions about electrical work

Can you work on an older bluestone or weatherboard house?

Yes. Older homes often need a switchboard upgrade and some rewiring. We check the existing wiring and board before recommending anything.

Can you add power to a detached garage or shed?

Yes. We run a sub-circuit or sub-board to the garage for lighting, outlets and tools, sized for what you plan to use there.

Do I need a new switchboard to add circuits?

Not always. If the existing board has room and suitable protection, a circuit can be added to it. If it is full or has old fuses, we explain the upgrade options first.
