Our running Newington specials take in the former Athletes Village homes along the Avenue of Europe, Avenue of Oceania and Avenue of Asia, plus Holker Street units and shops at Newington Marketplace. Mention it on the phone and we honour it.
Newington was built as the Athletes Village for the Sydney 2000 Games, then converted into homes by Mirvac, with more houses and apartments added since. The 2021 Census put separate houses at 38.9 per cent, townhouses at 17.1 per cent and flats at 43.9 per cent, and 65.9 per cent of dwellings had three or more bedrooms. We extend downlight layouts, add circuits for renovated kitchens, fit ceiling fans, and upgrade boards that have run for over two decades.
Newington Marketplace is the local retail hub, an open-air centre with a Woolworths, specialty shops, cafes and restaurants, and the suburb also holds office and warehouse buildings. We handle lighting upgrades, tenancy rewiring, data points and routine maintenance for these businesses.
Newington gets our same-day service across every avenue of the old village. Common urgent calls: a garage circuit dropping out, a townhouse safety switch that will not reset after rain, and a failed common area light in an apartment block.
Families shape most of our Newington work, since 81.9 per cent of households here are families and the median age is 38. Owners are extending kitchens, converting garages and adding air conditioning to homes that are now more than twenty years old, while strata committees look after shared lighting and car parks. As your Newington electrician, we also look after the landlords who own the 31.5 per cent of dwellings that are rented.
The work varies across the suburb. Houses along the named avenues tend to need board upgrades, outdoor power and new circuits, while apartment blocks near Holker Street call for strata-approved changes and car park work. Shops at the Marketplace need lighting and fault finding without disrupting trade. When something fails suddenly, our emergency electrician team can usually attend the same day, and we cover the neighbouring suburbs throughout Western Sydney.
The village was built for the 2000 Games and turned into housing afterwards. After more than two decades, we are upgrading original boards, adding RCD protection and fitting new circuits for kitchens and air conditioning.
Flats and townhouses together make up 61 per cent of Newington dwellings. We separate lot faults from common property issues and report clearly to the strata manager, with approvals sorted before we start.
About two in three Newington dwellings have three or more bedrooms. Families ask us for extra power points, study and garage circuits, outdoor lighting and ceiling fans as their homes change.
Newington Marketplace and the suburb's office and warehouse buildings need reliable lighting and power. We rewire tenancies, fit exit signs and plan disruptive work around trading hours.
Our licensed electricians know how the former Olympic village was put together, from the townhouse rows off Newington Boulevard to the apartment blocks near Holker Street.
Once we have seen the job, you get one fixed figure in writing. A townhouse on the Avenue of Africa and a unit on Jamieson Street each get their own quote.
If a Newington home loses power in the kitchen or a common area goes dark in your block, we move that call forward and send the nearest licensed electrician.
Our 250+ customers include Newington families, strata committees and Marketplace shop owners, and many of them heard about us from a neighbour on the same avenue.
Labour on every circuit we install in a Newington home, unit or shop is guaranteed for life, whether it is a single outdoor socket or a full board upgrade.
Tell us your avenue, the property type and any strata access rules. We then book a time that suits your family, your tenants or your trading hours at the Marketplace.
Our electrician checks the board and the cable routes, then explains the options simply and sends a fixed written price before any work starts on your Newington property.
We arrive on time and park considerately in the village streets. If traffic around Sydney Olympic Park on event days slows us, we phone ahead with a new time.
Dust sheets go down, offcuts leave with us, and you receive the compliance certificate plus a brief note on what we changed in your Newington home or unit.

Spyro started the business in 2017, and it has grown into a team of five-plus licensed electricians. Newington is a suburb we enjoy, because its homes were all built around the same time, so we know what to expect behind the walls. We upgrade boards, extend lighting and add circuits for family renovations, and we work closely with strata committees in the apartment blocks. One electrician handles your job from the first visit to the final paperwork.

Newington’s homes were built as the Athletes Village for the 2000 Olympics and converted to housing after the Games, so most boards in the suburb are now more than twenty years old. With 65.9 per cent of dwellings having three or more bedrooms and families adding air conditioning, induction cooking and home offices, board capacity is the upgrade we quote most here.
A Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work is issued for every Newington job, as NSW law requires. In homes built for the 2000 Games, we test any existing wiring we work on and note anything that needs attention. When a switchboard is replaced or changed, AS/NZS 3000 requires RCD protection on its final subcircuits, and Type AC safety switches have not been allowed in new work since 1 May 2023.
We give you a fixed written price after seeing the job. In Newington, adding lights in a townhouse with good roof access can be quick, while the same work in an apartment with concrete ceilings and strata rules takes more planning. We inspect first, explain what is involved and then commit to one figure.
Want more lighting for a renovation, a board upgrade for a home built for the 2000 Games, or a fault fixed in your Marketplace shop? Call 02 8999 3691. A licensed electrician will inspect your Newington property and send a fixed written quote, with lifetime labour cover on the work.
Newington families, townhouse and apartment owners, strata committees and Marketplace business owners often ask us these. If yours is not covered here, call us on 02 8999 3691.
Usually. Our team works 7am to 5:30pm on weekdays and 7am to 2pm on Saturdays, and Newington sits close to routes we use every day. Ring 02 8999 3691 in the morning for the best chance of a same-day visit. Tell us straight away if there is burning, sparking or a main switch that will not stay on, as those jobs go ahead of routine work.
We inspect before quoting. Adding lights in a townhouse with a roomy ceiling can be simple, while running new circuits in an apartment with concrete slabs and strata requirements needs more time and planning. After seeing the job, we explain what is involved and send a written fixed price, which only changes if you ask us to add work.
Not always, but many homes are ready for a review. The Athletes Village was built for the 2000 Games and converted to housing afterwards, so original boards are now over twenty years old. Families have since added air conditioning, bigger kitchens and home offices. We test the existing circuits, check RCD coverage and recommend a board upgrade only if capacity or protection falls short.
It depends where the fault is. Wiring from your own board into your rooms generally belongs to you, while shared driveway lights, car park circuits, meter panels and supply mains are usually common property. Townhouses and flats together make up about 61 per cent of Newington dwellings, so we handle this often. We trace the fault and give both you and the strata manager a written finding.
Yes. About two in three homes here have three or more bedrooms, and owners often renovate kitchens, convert garages or build home offices. We add circuits, LED downlights, extra power points, data points and ceiling fans, and we work alongside your builder or cabinet maker to get the timing right. Where the board is full, we explain the upgrade before starting.
In most homes, yes. The average Newington dwelling has 1.7 registered vehicles, and many houses and townhouses have a garage close to the board. We check the switchboard can handle the load, run a dedicated circuit and fit the charger. In apartment blocks we prepare the scope and cable route for strata approval before any work starts.
Around 31.5 per cent of Newington dwellings are rented. NSW rules require a working alarm on every storey, repairs within two business days after a tenant reports a fault, and replacement within ten years of the date of manufacture. Hard-wired alarms must be fitted by a licensed electrician. We can replace smoke alarms and test them between tenancies, leaving dated records for your agent.
We do. Newington Marketplace is an open-air centre with a Woolworths, specialty shops, cafes and restaurants, and there are also office and warehouse buildings in the suburb. We handle lighting upgrades, tenancy rewiring, dedicated circuits for kitchen equipment, exit and emergency lighting and fault finding, and we schedule disruptive work outside trading hours where possible.
If we are already on site for a booked job, we are happy to run a quick check of your board and safety switches at no charge. In Newington homes that are now more than twenty years old, this often picks up missing RCD protection, loose connections or overloaded circuits. We explain anything we find and give you a written price if you want it fixed.
All of Newington 2127, including the Avenue of Europe, Avenue of Oceania, Avenue of Asia, Avenue of Africa, Avenue of the Americas, Holker Street, Newington Boulevard and Jamieson Street, plus the Marketplace and the area around Newington Public School. We also cover Wentworth Point, Ermington, Homebush West, Liberty Grove, Concord West, Rhodes, Homebush and North Strathfield.
