Highett is one of the denser parts of Bayside at about 3081 people per square kilometre, which means strata approvals come up more often here than anywhere else we work. At around 38 metres, Highett is level. Supply is usually underground and reliable, so faults are nearly always inside the property.
At about 16 kilometres out, Highett sits in the belt where boards are typically 1970s to 1990s and are the limiting factor once solar or a charger is on the list. Highett is split between Bayside and Kingston, so which council covers your address depends on the street rather than the suburb name.
We treat Highett, Cheltenham and Hampton as one working area rather than three separate postcodes. Postcode 3190, about 3.9 square kilometres, 12016 residents at the 2021 census: that is the shape of Highett inside Bayside.
Local context worth knowing: The Highett railway station was built when the line from Caulfield to Mordialloc was opened in 1881. Housing age predicts the cable type, the board and the access. The suburbs we work alongside Highett are Cheltenham, Hampton, Hampton East and Moorabbin, and all of them are quoted on the same basis.
Boronia is our base, roughly 22.9 kilometres south-west of Highett. Short distances like that are why we can commit to a time and keep it. And on the history that shaped the streets: Highett railway station
