Around 2299 people per square kilometre puts Nunawading in the part of Manningham where full ducted replacement is the common job rather than the exception. Sitting near 130 metres, Nunawading has enough fall across most blocks that condensate drainage is easy to get right, which is not true on flatter ground.
At about 18 kilometres out, Nunawading sits in the belt where full-house systems are the norm and the main variable is how many zones the floor plan really needs. Nunawading is split across Manningham and Whitehorse, so which council you deal with depends on which side of the boundary the house sits. For plant noise and overlays that distinction occasionally matters.
Being next to Blackburn and Blackburn North means Nunawading is almost never a standalone trip for our crew. By the numbers: 12413 people, roughly 5.4 square kilometres, postcode 3131, inside Manningham. That is Nunawading as of the 2021 census.
Some local context that matters on site: == Transport ==
Nunawading has benefited from the new Nunawading railway station, one of the larger metropolitan stations in the eastern suburbs, and the Springvale Road grade separation, in 2010. The era a suburb filled in tells you a lot about what the switchboard will look like when we open it. Blackburn, Blackburn North, Doncaster East and Donvale and Nunawading form one continuous area for us rather than a list of separate suburbs.
From our Boronia workshop Nunawading is about 10.8 kilometres north-west, which is a short enough run that we can usually fit a look-in around another job rather than making it a separate trip.
