With around 1552 residents per square kilometre, Bayswater premises often have room for a proper switchroom rather than a board in a cupboard. Bayswater is 28 kilometres from town. Documentation exists for newer buildings, which makes design faster and cheaper.
Bayswater is in Knox. The electrical work in a fit-out sits under the wiring rules, but the fit-out itself usually needs a building permit, and that is where council comes in. We work to the permit rather than around it. Work in Bayswater slots in beside whatever we have on in Bayswater North, Boronia or Heathmont that day.
By the numbers: 12262 people, roughly 7.9 square kilometres, postcode 3153, inside Knox. That is Bayswater as of the 2021 census. The area we cover around Bayswater runs through Bayswater North, Boronia, Heathmont and Wantirna, and a booking in any of them is treated the same way.
The run from Boronia to Bayswater is about 2.6 kilometres north-west. That is a normal day for us, not a special trip.
