At around 1957 people per square kilometre, Ferntree Gully properties are the right size for a wired backbone and ceiling-mounted access points. Ferntree Gully is around 150 metres. Conditions are unremarkable; layout decides the design.
Ferntree Gully sits about 30 kilometres out in Knox. Alfresco areas and detached garages are the usual coverage gaps. Ferntree Gully sits inside Knox, and council approval does not apply to wireless cabling.
Because Ferntree Gully backs onto Boronia and Knoxfield, a second visit is rarely a second trip for us. For scale, the 2021 census counted 27398 people in Ferntree Gully, across about 14 square kilometres of Knox, postcode 3156.
Some background on the place: Officially opened on 17 October 1959 as the Mountain Gate Estate, it was marketed as the "town of a thousand homes" incorporating a modern car-oriented shopping centre and public parkland. Build era predicts the wall construction, and wall construction is what decides how many access points a house needs. Ferntree Gully sits inside a block we cover properly rather than occasionally. The neighbouring suburbs on that run are Boronia, Knoxfield, Lysterfield and Rowville.
Ferntree Gully is around 2.7 kilometres south of our workshop in Boronia, close enough that the van is stocked for the job before it leaves. Also worth knowing about the area: == Transport ==
Ferntree Gully has a railway station located on Station Street, near the shopping district, which was previously known as Lower Ferntree Gully, followed by Fern Tree Gully, having been changed to the latter on 29 February 1972.
Another piece of background on the suburb: The area became more accessible to visitors with the arrival of a railway line extension from Ringwood, completed in 1889.
