Renovating Laundries in Bundoora Homes
In Bundoora’s brick homes from the 1960s to the 1980s, the laundry is usually a separate room between the kitchen and the garage or back door, with a stainless trough and a single shelf above. The townhouses and apartments near La Trobe and RMIT rely on cupboard laundries, often with a stacked washer and dryer.
Typical laundry projects include replacing old troughs and cabinets with full-height storage, adding a bench over front loaders for folding, improving drainage and ventilation, and in smaller homes building a European laundry into joinery. Internal laundry work generally doesn’t need a planning permit from any of Bundoora’s three councils, and plumbing and electrical changes are carried out by licensed trades.

Before You Start
Planning a Laundry Upgrade in Bundoora
Apartments
Cupboard Laundries in Apartments
Bundoora apartments and townhouses often have a laundry behind bifold doors in a hallway, with a stacked washer and dryer and no trough. Replacing it with a joinery unit that includes a small sink, storage and a waterproof tray needs owners corporation approval where plumbing is shared. We prepare the details and coordinate that approval.
Ventilation
Dryer Moisture in Small Spaces
A vented dryer in a closed laundry cupboard pushes warm, damp air into the hallway or living area, which causes condensation and mould on ceilings and window frames. Heat pump dryers avoid this and suit Bundoora apartments with no external wall nearby. In houses, an exhaust fan ducted outside clears steam from the laundry room itself.
Materials
Replacing the Original Trough
Many original Bundoora laundries have a freestanding stainless trough on legs beside a laminate cupboard with swollen edges. A built-in sink in a moisture-resistant carcass, a stone or compact laminate bench and a tiled splashback make the room much easier to keep clean. We check the taps and waste connections when the old trough comes out.
Access
The Laundry as Back Entry
In many Bundoora houses the laundry opens to the backyard, so it is also the route to the clothesline, bins and garden. A durable floor with a floor waste, a well-sealed external door and hooks or a cupboard for outdoor gear help it work as a back entry. We keep a clear path through the room when placing cabinets.
Rentals
Laundries in Leased Houses
Victoria’s rental minimum standards say that where a rental home has a laundry, it must be connected to hot and cold water. In Bundoora houses shared by students, the laundry also has to cope with frequent loads from several people. Durable cabinets, reliable taps and a floor waste reduce maintenance calls, so we suggest simple, hard-wearing layouts.

Can you build a laundry into a Bundoora apartment hallway cupboard?
Often, if there is access to water and waste within the wall or floor. A European laundry needs a waterproof tray or floor waste, ventilation and power for the machines. Owners corporation approval is usually required for plumbing changes in apartments. We assess the space and prepare the approval documents for you.
Which benchtop suits a Bundoora laundry?
Laminate is economical and works well if its edges are sealed against water. Compact laminate and engineered stone are harder-wearing and suit a bench over front loaders. Timber looks warm but needs sealing and care near the trough. For laundries in rentals near the universities, we usually suggest compact laminate or stone because they handle heavy use.
We are about to lease our Bundoora house. What should we fix in the laundry?
Before tenants move in, check that the trough doesn’t leak, the taps and washing machine valves work, the floor drains properly and the exhaust fan clears moisture. Replacing a swollen cupboard or a rusted trough is usually enough for the room to look cared for. A full laundry renovation is better suited to owners who will live in the home.
Can a stacked washer and dryer work in a Bundoora townhouse laundry?
Yes, stacking frees floor space for a bench or cupboard. It needs a stacking kit matched to both machines, a dryer that suits the room’s ventilation and a power point at the right height. In a Bundoora townhouse with a small laundry, stacking can make room for a tall broom cupboard and shelving.
