Renovating Laundries in Hurstbridge Homes
In Hurstbridge homes the laundry is usually a proper room, often near the back door, garage or lower level of the house, and it works hard on properties with gardens, animals and muddy boots. Many are still fitted out with original cabinetry, a single trough and little storage, and in older weatherboards some sit in back verandahs or additions that are cold and damp.
Common Hurstbridge laundry projects include combined laundry and mud room spaces with boot storage and a large sink, full height cupboards and bench space, better ventilation and heating in cold rooms, and making the most of tank water connections. Most interior laundry work doesn’t need a planning permit from Nillumbik Shire Council, and licensed trades handle all plumbing and electrical work.

Before You Start
Planning a Laundry Renovation in Hurstbridge
Structure
Enclosed Verandah Laundries
In older Hurstbridge weatherboards the laundry is often in an enclosed back verandah, with a sloping floor, thin walls and draughty windows. Levelling and sealing the floor, insulating walls and ceiling and replacing old windows makes it a usable room. We check the stumps and framing under it, as these additions were not always built well.
Storage
Animals and Outdoor Work
On Hurstbridge’s hobby farms and acreage, the laundry handles work clothes, boots, dog bedding and sometimes animal care. A deep utility sink, a hose cock, wall hooks and a tough floor with a floor waste that can be washed down suit that use. We position it so you can come straight in from the paddock or garden.
Plumbing
Washing on Tank and Septic
Where a Hurstbridge home runs on tank water and a septic system, the laundry is a big user of both. A water-efficient front loader, low phosphorus detergents and spreading loads through the week help the tank and the septic system. Connecting the machine to tank water needs the right pump and fittings, which our plumbers install.
Ventilation
Drying Wet Weather Clothes
Hurstbridge winters are cool and wet, and work clothes and coats need somewhere to dry. A heat pump dryer, a ceiling airer or drying cabinet and a ducted exhaust fan keep moisture out of the house. Near the wood heater is tempting, but a ventilated laundry is safer and keeps the rest of the house drier.
Fire Safety
Emergency Gear by the Door
Hurstbridge is surrounded by bush and much of the area is in the Bushfire Management Overlay. Many households keep a bushfire kit, protective clothing, buckets, torches and a battery radio ready in summer. A dedicated cupboard in the laundry near the back door, with a power point for chargers, keeps it all together.

Can our Hurstbridge laundry be connected to tank water?
Usually, yes. A washing machine can run on tank water with a pump and the right fittings, and where mains water is also connected, a backflow device or switching valve keeps the supplies separate. Our licensed plumbers install the connection and issue a compliance certificate.
Our laundry is in an old back verandah. Is it worth rebuilding?
Often, yes. Enclosed verandahs in older Hurstbridge weatherboards can be cold, damp and uneven. If the stumps and framing are sound, insulating, levelling and relining the room can work well. If they are rotten, rebuilding may be better, which may need a building permit, and heritage controls can apply to the outside.
Can we add a mud room to our Hurstbridge laundry?
Yes. Bench seating, boot racks, coat hooks and a hard floor near the back door are the basics. On a rural property, a deep sink and outside tap by the door help too. If space is short, we look at taking some from a hallway, verandah or adjoining store room.
What does a Hurstbridge laundry need before the house is sold or leased?
For a rental, Victoria’s minimum standards say that where a laundry is provided it must be connected to hot and cold water, so check both work properly, including on tank supply. Buyers and tenants also look for a sound, dry floor, a trough that drains, enough storage and no damp smell. Fixing leaks, a rusted trough or a broken fan comes before new cabinetry.
