Croydon is about 2029 people per square kilometre. Local commercial premises where the board is usually the limiting factor. Sitting at about 124 metres, Croydon has sites where the switchroom and the load are often on different levels.
Croydon is 30 kilometres from town. Newer premises mean documentation exists, which makes any change easier to scope. Croydon sits inside Maroondah. Most commercial electrical work needs nothing from the council, and we will say plainly when it does.
Being next to Croydon Hills and Croydon North means Croydon is almost never a standalone trip for our crew. Croydon is postcode 3136, roughly 14.1 square kilometres of Maroondah, and held 28608 residents at the 2021 census.
Worth knowing before we quote: On 1 August 1884 it was renamed Croydon railway station. Build era predicts switchboard capacity and whether the premises were wired for the use they now have. Croydon sits within a group of suburbs we are in constantly: Croydon Hills, Croydon North, Croydon South and Kilsyth.
It is around 7.9 kilometres north from our Boronia base to Croydon. Short runs like that are how we keep a fixed price honest instead of building travel into it. With Croydon railway station in the middle of it, Croydon has the pattern you would expect: closer-built older stock near the line, newer subdivision further out.
Adding to that: == History ==
Dating back to 1840 the land was first utilised by settlers for grazing and the first road cut through the area now known as Croydon, was initially known as Sawmill Road, as a sawmill was nearby. A second note on how the suburb came to be: The Post Office opened on 1 December 1883 after the railway line was established.
