Vermont South sits at about 1897 people per square kilometre, where high voltage assets belong to larger sites: schools, aged care, light industrial and retail centres. Vermont South is roughly 19 kilometres from the CBD, where customer substations sit at schools, retail centres and light industrial sites.
Vermont South sits inside Whitehorse, and the approvals that matter are the distributor's. Because Vermont South backs onto Burwood East and Forest Hill, a second visit is rarely a second trip for us.
11954 residents at the 2021 census, about 6.3 square kilometres, postcode 3133: that is the scale of Vermont South within Whitehorse. Some background on the place: The Burwood Rise estate, which occupies a large area between Livingstone and Stanley Roads (and around Dalroy Crescent & Consort Avenue), was developed between 1968 and 1971. Development era predicts the age of the asset and whether any maintenance history exists for it.
The area we cover around Vermont South runs through Burwood East, Forest Hill, Glen Waverley and Vermont, and a booking in any of them is treated the same way. It is around 9.1 kilometres west from our Boronia base to Vermont South. Short runs like that are how we keep a fixed price honest instead of building travel into it.
Another piece of background on the suburb: The original purchaser of the Morack Road area was John Lobb, who in 1862 subdivided the land into a village called Norwich.
