Renovating Laundries in Mill Park Homes
In Mill Park homes, the laundry is usually a small room between the kitchen and the garage or side door, with a stainless trough, a washing machine space and one or two cupboards. Units often have a cupboard laundry in a hallway. Storage and bench space are usually minimal. Many still have the original trough.
That shapes most of our Mill Park laundry renovations: replacing the old trough with a cabinet sink and continuous benchtop, adding full-height storage, making room for a dryer, and turning the garage link into a practical mudroom. Internal laundry work in Mill Park rarely needs a planning permit from City of Whittlesea, and every plumbing and electrical change is made by licensed trades with compliance certificates.

Before You Start
What to Plan For in a Mill Park Laundry
Layout
Between the Kitchen and the Garage
In most Mill Park homes the laundry links the kitchen to the garage or the side door. It is a busy walkway as well as a work room. We plan a clear path, a benchtop over the machines and full-height storage on the other side so it stays tidy.
Plumbing
Replacing the Original Trough
Many Mill Park laundries still have the stainless trough on a metal stand that was fitted when the house was built in the 1980s or 90s. Replacing it with a cabinet sink and continuous benchtop adds bench space and hides the plumbing. Our licensed plumbers handle the new waste and taps and issue a compliance certificate.
Asbestos
Asbestos in Older Laundries
Mill Park homes from the 1970s and 80s may have fibre cement sheeting in the laundry walls or ceiling that contains asbestos. Suspect material is checked before demolition, and larger amounts must be removed by a licensed removalist. We allow for this in the quote, so the fixed price holds if it is found.
Ventilation
Dryer Space and Ventilation
Original Mill Park laundries were rarely designed for a dryer. Stacking it above the washer frees floor space, and a heat pump or vented dryer suits a small room. We check power and ventilation so moisture does not cause mould, which is common in internal Mill Park laundries with no window to the outside.
Apartments
Unit Laundries
Mill Park units often have a laundry in a hallway cupboard or shared with the bathroom. A stacked washer and dryer with a slim trough beside it can make the space far more useful. If there is an owners corporation, we check any approvals before starting.

Does a laundry renovation in Mill Park need a permit?
Usually not. Internal laundry work generally needs no planning permit from the City of Whittlesea. If walls move or the room is enlarged, a building permit may be required. Plumbing and electrical work is done by licensed trades with compliance certificates.
Can the laundry be moved to make room for a bigger kitchen?
Sometimes. In many Mill Park homes the laundry sits beside the kitchen, so absorbing it into a larger kitchen or butler’s pantry is possible if there is another place for the machines, such as part of the garage. Because the homes are on slabs, the drain location affects cost.
How long will a Mill Park laundry renovation take?
Most take about one to two weeks, depending on cabinetry lead times and whether drainage moves. Older laundries can take a little longer if asbestos needs removing. We keep your machines connected as long as possible and tell you in advance when they will be out of action.
Can you renovate the laundry together with the bathrooms?
Yes, and it often makes sense in Mill Park homes where the bathroom, ensuite and laundry all date from when the house was built. Doing them together lets us use the same trades and finishes, cuts set-up time and keeps the home consistent from room to room.
Do I need to update my Mill Park laundry before selling or leasing?
Mill Park laundries are often original, with a stainless steel trough in a metal cabinet and little bench space. A new trough cabinet, a benchtop over the machines and overhead cupboards can make a noticeable difference without moving plumbing. Check under the trough for water damage. In a rental, Victoria’s rental minimum standards require a laundry, where provided, to be connected to hot and cold water.
