⚡ Electrical work in Walkerston

Electrical work in Walkerston.

Walkerston is about 14 km south-west of Mackay on the Peak Downs Highway. It formed in 1881 out of two earlier townships and grew around pastoral and sugar work, with a railway station operating since 1885 and two primary schools today. The 2021 census counted 3,615 residents, up from 3,089 a decade earlier.

The town straddles Bakers Creek for about 3 km and is bounded by the Pioneer River to the north, a river with documented floods in 1884, 1918, 1958 and 2017. Between the flood history and housing that spans well over a century, the work here leans towards rewires, switchboard replacements on older homes, and shed or rural-block circuits well away from the house.
