Tecoma is open at roughly 1147 people per square kilometre, where home workshops and sheds hold tools that have never been tested and are used harder than office equipment. Sitting near 220 metres in Yarra Ranges, Tecoma sites see more supply interruptions, which is hard on equipment with electronic controls.
Being around 33 kilometres from the city, Tecoma has sites where the register needs to be organised by building. Tecoma sits inside Yarra Ranges, and test and tag is a compliance matter rather than a planning one.
Belgrave, Belgrave Heights and Tecoma are close enough together that we treat them as one run rather than three separate jobs. There were 2064 people living in Tecoma at the 2021 census, spread over around 1.8 square kilometres in Yarra Ranges, postcode 3160.
Our working patch either side of Tecoma takes in Belgrave, Belgrave Heights, Ferny Creek and Lysterfield, which is why availability here is usually good. The run from Boronia to Tecoma is about 7.1 kilometres south-east. That is a normal day for us, not a special trip.
