What shapes the work in Narangba
New schools, new estates
Jinibara State School opened in 1996, Narangba Valley State High School in 2000 and Narangba Valley State School in 2005, tracking the new estates. The old Narangba State School dates from 1910.
Still growing
The suburb had 20,910 people at the 2021 Census, up from 18,573 in 2016. The median age was 33.
Owners with mortgages
55.3% of homes were owned with a mortgage, 23.7% rented and 19.6% owned outright. The average home had 3.9 bedrooms, against 3.2 across Queensland.
On the creek and the bush edge
Burpengary Creek runs down from the D'Aguilar Ranges into Narangba. The City of Moreton Bay is reviewing which land counts as bushfire prone for new buildings.
Single phase or three phase?
| Single phase | Three phase | |
|---|---|---|
| Energex basic solar connection | Up to 10 kVA of inverter and 5 kW of export | The same limits apply to each of the three phases |
| Suits | Most homes with average loads | Big homes with large air conditioning, a pool, a big solar system or fast EV charging |
| Changing to it | What many homes already have | Your electrician lodges an Electrical Work Request with Energex |
Before you add solar, a battery or a charger
Ask the electrician to look at the whole picture: what's on the board now, what you plan to add, and whether the supply is single or three phase. In Queensland, a solar and battery inverter system of 10 kVA or more also needs a generation signalling device, so Energex can switch it off briefly in an energy emergency. Three phase power explained covers when an upgrade is worth it.
If it were our Narangba house
We'd list every big load we expect in the next few years, the charger, the pool heat pump, a bigger solar system, and have one electrician size the board and supply for all of it. Changing phases or boards once is far better than twice.
