St Ives sits on the Upper North Shore, a suburb of large modern family homes set back on leafy bushland blocks running off Mona Vale Rd and around the St Ives Village shopping centre. A lot of these properties back onto Garigal National Park, so we see big detached homes with pools, double garages and plenty of land. That land brings strong demand for EV charger installs and pool wiring, which is most of what we do up here.
The St Ives housing mix keeps our residential and Level 2 teams busy. Large homes mean bigger electrical loads, so we are often upgrading switchboards and consumer mains before a family adds an EV charger, a pool heat pump or a second living area. Pool and spa wiring, garden and landscape lighting across the bushland setting, and submains out to sheds and studios are all regular jobs. Renovations and full rewires on older homes near the village round out the work.
St Ives is mostly large modern family homes on leafy bushland blocks, with strong demand for EV charger installs, swimming pools and the switchboard upgrades that go with them.
