At approximately 127 metres, Officer sits above the flats, where outdoor lighting on sloping blocks is a frequent request. At about 48 kilometres from the CBD, Officer is outer-ring, where the wiring is newer and the question is usually capacity rather than condition.
Being part of Cardinia, Officer follows the same requirements as the rest of Victoria: licensed work, tested, and documented. Because Officer backs onto Beaconsfield and Beaconsfield Upper, a second visit is rarely a second trip for us.
A note on how Officer developed: Population and demographic mixes are changing, with construction of a 4,000 lot housing estate to be completed in late 2019. That history is why wiring standards vary street to street here. Officer sits inside a block we cover properly rather than occasionally. The neighbouring suburbs on that run are Beaconsfield, Beaconsfield Upper, Clyde North and Guys Hill.
The run from Boronia to Officer is about 16730.5 kilometres west. That is a normal day for us, not a special trip. With Officer railway station in Officer, the streets nearest the line generally carry the oldest stock in the suburb.
For context on the older parts of the suburb: A timber industry was established, and by 1870 timber was being transported from the railways sidings, named Officer's Wood Siding. And on the history that shaped the streets: The population was sufficient to justify a post office, opening on 16 December 1885 (known as Officer's Siding until 1888 and Officer Railway Station until 1913).
