Because Camberwell sits near 3787 people per square kilometre, cable runs are short but walls are hard and ceiling access is often limited. Camberwell is roughly 57 metres above sea level. Straightforward construction and predictable cable routes.
Being roughly 10 kilometres from town, Camberwell has lath and plaster, limited ceiling access and extensions that created a second roof space nobody documented. Camberwell sits inside Boroondara, and council approval is not part of everyday electrical work.
Camberwell is bracketed by Burwood and Canterbury, both of which we are in regularly, so scheduling here is rarely the hard part. Camberwell covers about 5.8 square kilometres of Boroondara. The 2021 census put the population at 21965, and the postcode is 3124.
For what it is worth on the day: === 21st century ===
==== Camberwell Station redevelopment ====
Opposition similar to that facing the Podgor redevelopment was mounted regarding plans dating from 1999 to develop Camberwell railway station to incorporate retail and office development. The decade a suburb filled in tells us what to expect behind the plaster. Burwood, Canterbury, Glen Iris and Hawthorn East and Camberwell form one continuous area for us rather than a list of separate suburbs.
We work out of Boronia, about 19.1 kilometres west from Camberwell. No travel charge, no minimum call-out to justify the drive. Also worth knowing about the area: The Kasouka Estate was created in 1891 and included Kasouka Road, Trafalgar, Prospect Hill and Riversdale Roads.
