Electrical work in Slade Point.

Slade Point is a coastal peninsula about 9 km north-north-east of the Mackay CBD, with the Coral Sea forming its northern boundary and most of its eastern one, and Lamberts Beach on its edge. It has a primary school, a shopping centre and a community hall, and 3,450 residents at the 2021 census. The headland was named by James Cook in 1770.

Living on three sides of water has an electrical cost. Salt-laden air corrodes outdoor power points, light fittings, air conditioner units and anything with exposed metal faster than it does a few kilometres inland, so weatherproof fittings and regular checks of external circuits earn their keep. The peninsula also falls inside the council coastal hazard and storm tide overlay mapping, which makes surge protection and a reliable switchboard worth sorting before cyclone season rather than during it.

Common jobs in Slade Point

• Corroded outdoor fittings and weatherproof replacements
• Whole-home surge protection before cyclone season
• Air conditioner and appliance circuits
• Rewires where salt air has taken its toll

Slade Point has a shopping centre, a primary school and a community hall that all need to keep running. For fit-outs, maintenance and compliance work, see commercial electrical across Mackay.
