With about 650 people per square kilometre, Selby properties carry more of their own infrastructure than suburban ones do. Because Selby sits about 250 metres up, power interruptions are more frequent, which is hard on anything with an electronic control board.
Being around 37 kilometres from the city, Selby has accessible roof space and clear cable routes in most homes. Yarra Ranges covers Selby. Council only matters where work changes a heritage-controlled exterior or where something crosses public land.
We work across Belgrave, Belgrave Heights and Belgrave South on the same trip, and Selby sits in the middle of that loop. Selby is postcode 3159, roughly 2.5 square kilometres of Yarra Ranges, and held 1,626 residents at the 2021 census.
The suburbs we work alongside Selby are Belgrave, Belgrave Heights, Belgrave South and Kallista, and all of them are quoted on the same basis. It is around 9.3 kilometres south-east from our Boronia base to Selby. Short runs like that are how we keep a fixed price honest instead of building travel into it.
