Mitchell Park

Housing Trust homes, renewed

Mitchell Park sits south of the city with the Flinders railway line along its eastern edge, next to Marion, Clovelly Park and Ascot Park. Many of its homes were South Australian Housing Trust properties, and an award-winning urban renewal program has renovated a lot of them. The 2021 Census counts 5,754 people, 54.4% separate houses and 42.5% semi-detached or row homes, and 49.9% of homes rented.

A renovation updates the kitchen and bathroom, but the sewer line under the yard is often the one laid with the house, typically earthenware or early PVC in older homes. Semi-detached pairs usually share part of that line. With so many rentals, we work to the landlord or property manager's approval and the tenant's access, and keep camera work, clearing and repairs as separate quoted items.

  • Renovating a former Trust home? Ask us to camera the old line before the new bathroom goes in, so new fixtures aren't feeding a cracked pipe.
  • Property managers: send the owner's approval contact and the tenant's number with the job, and say if the other half of the pair is affected too.
  • Show tenants where the outside overflow gully is. If it lifts or smells, that's the early warning before the toilet or shower backs up.
