A very old name
Governor Phillip set up a government farm here in 1791, on land that's now Old Toongabbie.
More units every year
In 2021, 58.8% of homes were separate houses, 22.4% semis or townhouses and 18.4% flats. 35.2% were rented.
Girraween Creek
Greystanes (Girraween) Creek runs the length of the suburb and often floods heavily in rain, sometimes onto Station Road.
Living in a unit block
In an apartment you need strata approval to install a wall charger, and the building has to follow the Strata Schemes Management Act.
On 16 October 2026 the NSW Government said Parliament had passed a bill giving owners the right to install EV charging on their own lot without unreasonable objection from the strata committee. It didn't give a start date.
Water in an outdoor power point or light?
After heavy rain near the creek, a safety switch that keeps tripping often means water has got into something outside. Leave that circuit off, don't use anything that got wet, and get an electrician to find the fault. If water came inside, call the SES on 132 500.
Our suggestion
If you own a unit and want a charger, raise it with the strata committee now and ask for the building's electrical capacity to be assessed once, for everyone. One assessment beats ten separate arguments in the car park. We'll match a licence-checked electrician who does strata EV work if we have one near Toongabbie.
