Canterbury runs near 2600 people per square kilometre. Detached blocks that size usually take a recorder in the garage and a clean cable path back to it. At around 70 metres, Canterbury is level. Cameras need to be placed for angle rather than elevation, which usually means the corners of the house.
Canterbury sits 10 kilometres from the city. Rear-lane access is common in this part of Boroondara, and a lane is a genuine second approach worth covering. Canterbury sits inside Boroondara. We set detection zones to stop at the fence line as a matter of course, not because a council asks us to.
We treat Canterbury, Balwyn and Camberwell as one working area rather than three separate postcodes. Canterbury is postcode 3126, roughly 3 square kilometres of Boroondara, and held 7800 residents at the 2021 census.
Local background that shows up on the ladder: == History ==
The railway station is in many ways responsible for the suburb's existence: before the opening of the railway to the City in 1882, the area was a semi-rural area. Older stock means tighter roof spaces and fewer easy cable paths. Around Canterbury our regular territory covers Balwyn, Camberwell, Hawthorn East and Kew East. Nothing about a booking here is treated as out of area.
Boronia is our base, roughly 18.7 kilometres west of Canterbury. Short distances like that are why we can commit to a time and keep it. A further note on how the streets came to be: The first subdivision in the area came in 1885, when Michael Logan created the 'Claremont Park Estate' within the area of Canterbury Road, Bryson Street, Prospect Hill Road and Logan Street.
Adding to that: In 1900 Snowden's estate was subdivided and sold off to form what is now Monomeath Avenue and residents such as notable architect Percey Kernot and prominent citizen George Coghill moved in.
