The rules are the state's. A Mandurah contractor works under the same WA licensing as one in Perth: the EC number belongs in your advertising, websites included, and most installing work ends with an electrical safety certificate for the customer within 28 days. Our Perth electricians page sets out the regulation and Building and Energy's guideline on how prominent the number should be. Western Power runs the network here as it does in Perth, so notices of completion and connection questions go to the same place.
Early to batteries. In November 2018 the state announced that its PowerBank trial in Meadow Springs had gone live three months ahead of schedule, after all 52 places were taken. The trial, a joint Synergy and Western Power project, used a 105 kW, 420 kWh Tesla battery, and the state said it was the first time a utility-scale battery had been integrated into an already established major metropolitan network. By June 2020 a 116 kW, 464 kWh Western Power battery had also been installed in Falcon. The Meadow Springs trial was built around households with rooftop solar, so solar and storage questions are nothing new to customers here. For the statewide home battery rebate and what it means for your quote form, see the Perth page.
Industry to the north-east. The Peel Business Park is the first stage of Transform Peel, the state's program to create new industries and jobs in the region. In 2021 the state said DevelopmentWA's Industrial Lands Authority was delivering the first 120 hectares, and it pitched the estate at technology-driven agri-food and agri-processing operators, plus transport and support businesses. DevelopmentWA now names bakery business ARYZTA as a foundation agri-food tenant, DFES's Bushfire Centre of Excellence sits in stage 1, and a stage 3 land release was open in late 2026. If you already work for any of them, say so on your commercial page, with the kinds of jobs rather than client names unless they've agreed.
Owners who live elsewhere. At the 2021 census, 7,267 of the City of Mandurah's 42,620 private dwellings had nobody home on census night, about 17 per cent against roughly 10 per cent nationally. The ABS count takes in holiday houses as well as homes between tenants or up for sale. Owners who live elsewhere book work by phone or email, and some let their place to visitors: a home made available for short-term rental needs RCDs at the switchboard before guests stay, and compliant mains-powered smoke alarms before it's hired. In July 2025, 6.7 per cent of the properties on WA's short-stay register were in the Peel. A line on your site saying you check both, and email the certificate, suits an owner who can't be there.
How we'd work with you. We're a web design team in Adelaide, and we work with WA businesses by phone and email. We haven't built a site for a WA electrician, or any WA client, yet, so the examples below are trade sites from Queensland and South Australia. We reply within 24 hours.
