The streets around UNSW — along Anzac Parade, into Kensington, and through the residential blocks between the campus and Randwick Junction — have one of the densest concentrations of student accommodation and rental properties in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. The turnover of tenants in these properties is high, and the electrical compliance status of many of them is well behind where it should be. Old switchboards, absent safety switches and smoke alarms that have never been updated to the current NSW interconnection standard are common findings when we inspect investment properties in this part of Randwick.

For landlords and property managers with rental properties near UNSW or throughout Randwick more broadly, we carry out safety switch installation, smoke alarm installation and compliance and switchboard assessments as a combined compliance visit. All work comes with compliance documentation on the day. For a property with multiple compliance gaps, this is by far the most efficient way to address them in a single organised visit rather than responding to each issue as it is raised by a new tenant or a property inspection.

The Prince of Wales Hospital complex and the network of specialist consulting rooms, medical centres and allied health practices that surround it on Barker Street and the adjoining streets represent a distinct category of commercial electrical work. Medical and healthcare environments have specific requirements around power reliability, dedicated circuits for diagnostic equipment, emergency lighting compliance and data cabling for practice management systems that differ from standard commercial fitouts.

Brian Brothers Electrical handles electrical work for medical practices, specialist consulting rooms and allied health businesses in the Randwick hospital precinct. We install data and network cabling for practice management and imaging systems, carry out LED lighting upgrades in consulting and waiting room areas, and provide commercial electrical services for fitouts and refurbishments. We work outside consulting hours wherever possible and understand that disruption to a medical practice affects real patients with real appointments.

Randwick Junction is the commercial hub of the suburb, with a busy retail and hospitality strip along Belmore Road and the surrounding streets that serves the local residential community, the UNSW student population and visitors to the racecourse on event days. The electrical demand across these businesses varies considerably — a cafe on Belmore Road has different needs from a boutique on the Junction strip, and both are different again from the event and venue electrical requirements generated by Royal Randwick Racecourse on a Saturday.

Brian Brothers Electrical provides commercial electrical services across Randwick’s retail and hospitality precincts. We handle new fitouts, circuit upgrades, LED lighting design and installation, 3-phase power for commercial kitchens, CCTV installation and range hood installation for hospitality venues. We work around your trading hours and treat your fitout or maintenance deadline as seriously as our own schedule.

Electrical work that involves the connection between a Randwick property and the Ausgrid network requires an accredited service provider to carry it out legally. This includes consumer mains repairs and replacement, private power pole work, metering services and disconnections and reconnections. Brian Brothers Electrical holds full Ausgrid ASP accreditation and manages all Level 2 work across Randwick from inspection through to completion and Ausgrid sign-off.
