Suburbs in Northern Beaches

The northern beaches suburbs grew up from the 1990s along the Bruce Highway north-west of the city. Deeragun has older Housing Commission streets mixed with rural-residential blocks, and Bushland Beach is a newer coastal estate between the Bohle River and the sea. Kirwan is different again: a large, established suburb further south near Thuringowa Central, with schools, sporting grounds and a commercial strip on Thuringowa Drive. Commuting, salt air and weekend boating shape much of the work along the coast, while Kirwan is mostly everyday family car repairs.

Common auto electrical jobs in Northern Beaches

Longer commutes, the coast and a lot of family vehicles define the auto electrical work across this part of Townsville.

Boat trailers and salt water

Boat ramps on Stony Creek and other coastal launch points mean plenty of trailers get dunked in salt water. Every launch pushes salt into lamp housings and plugs, and corrosion follows quickly. Waterproof LED trailer lights, sealed plugs and a fresh-water rinse after every trip make a big difference. If your lights keep failing, our guide why aren't my trailer lights working walks through the usual faults.

Commuter cars and highway miles

Residents of Deeragun and Bushland Beach drive about 16 to 22 km into the city, often on the Bruce Highway and Ring Road. Highway driving is easy on batteries compared with short trips, but heat still takes its toll and alternators work hard with the air conditioning running. A battery or charging warning light on the dash is worth acting on quickly. See battery warning light on while driving for what it means.

Family cars in the heat

Kirwan and the northern suburbs are full of family cars doing school runs, sport and shopping in hot weather. When the air conditioning stops cooling, the cause is often electrical: a condenser fan, a relay, a fuse or a pressure switch. Checking those before assuming the system needs gas can save money. Any regassing or work on the refrigerant side needs a licensed technician.
