At about 29 kilometres from the CBD, Boronia is outer-ring, where assets are newer and the regime is preventative. For Boronia, Knox has no role in high voltage work. The parties that matter are the distributor and the regulator.

We work across Bayswater, Bayswater North and Ferntree Gully on the same trip, and Boronia sits in the middle of that loop. The 2021 census figure for Boronia was 23607 residents. The suburb covers about 11.3 square kilometres of Knox under postcode 3155.

For what it is worth on site: The new tunnel and intersection opened in 1998, with the land which the railway used to occupy (housing the Country Fire Authority, railway station and large playground/park) being converted into a new shopping centre and carpark. Development era predicts the age of the asset and whether any maintenance history exists for it. Bayswater, Bayswater North, Ferntree Gully and Knoxfield and Boronia form one continuous area for us rather than a list of separate suburbs.

Boronia is served by Boronia railway station. Streets nearest the line are generally the ones with the oldest switchboards. A further note on how the streets came to be: Boronia railway station opened in 1920, leading to an influx of residents and Boronia Post Office opened on 1 October 1920.
