Garage door service areas across Lake Macquarie
There's no bridge across the middle, so every job is a drive around the water. We work the lake in four sheets, the same way the run sheet divides the day, and each sheet wears its doors differently.
The Channel Side Sheet 1
Salt air and the southerly. The fastest-ageing hardware on the lake, and the doors we watch closest.
Swansea, Caves Beach, Pelican, Marks Point, Belmont, RedheadThe Western Shore Sheet 2
Stiller, bushier, milder. Doors age slower here, and blackout readiness matters more.
Toronto, Coal Point, Kilaben Bay, Rathmines, Wangi WangiThe Southern End Sheet 3
The growth end: new estates beside older cottages and one-road-in lake villages.
Morisset, Bonnells Bay, Brightwaters, Dora Creek, WyeeThe North & the Ridge Sheet 4
The lake's busy top end and the high ground behind it, where age and ground movement set the work.
Warners Bay, Speers Point, Charlestown, Cardiff, Glendale, Cameron ParkBetween the sheets
The suburbs named above are anchors, not fences. If your street sits between them, Eleebana, Valentine, Boolaroo, Mount Hutton, Blackalls Park, Balmoral, Croudace Bay, Fennell Bay, Mirrabooka and the rest of the LGA's addresses, you're on the run: the run goes right around the water. The quickest way to check is to drop a pin on the Run Sheet, or just name the suburb in the form.
