Ringwood is about 1877 people per square kilometre. Standard construction, accessible ceilings, and a straightforward install. Sitting at about 123 metres, Ringwood has homes where the top level is the one that needs the fan.
Being around 25 kilometres from the city, Ringwood homes commonly have alfresco areas that want an outdoor-rated fan. Maroondah covers Ringwood. Council is not involved in fitting a fan.
Work in Ringwood slots in beside whatever we have on in Croydon, Donvale or Heathmont that day. By the numbers: 19144 people, roughly 10.2 square kilometres, postcode 3134, inside Maroondah. That is Ringwood as of the 2021 census.
Background that shapes the job: In 2009, the State Government controversially approved the building of a nine-storey housing development near Ringwood Lake, without Council or public consultation. Construction period drives the switching arrangement we find. Ringwood sits inside a block we cover properly rather than occasionally. The neighbouring suburbs on that run are Croydon, Donvale, Heathmont and Mitcham.
It is around 7.4 kilometres north-west from our Boronia base to Ringwood. Short runs like that are how we keep a fixed price honest instead of building travel into it. Ringwood is served by Ringwood railway station. Streets nearest the line are generally the ones with the oldest switchboards.
