Barkly Village and older houses
Barkly Street’s Barkly Village is West Footscray’s neighbourhood activity centre. Maribyrnong City Council endorsed a streetscape improvement plan for it in December 2023.
Six in ten occupied dwellings are separate houses, and around four in ten households rent (ABS 2021).

Questions we’re often asked
Can you rewire a house built in the early 1900s?
Yes. We inspect first, then plan a rewire that avoids damage to original features where possible.
Can you help with electrical for a shop on Barkly Street?
Yes. We install lighting, power and exit lighting for small shops and food businesses.
Can you rewire a house in stages?
Often, yes. We usually start with the switchboard, then rewire room by room so the house stays usable.
