Reservoir security tip
Shared driveways and units
About a third of Reservoir's homes were units, townhouses or semi-detached at the 2021 Census, many built behind an older house with a shared driveway. Agree with neighbours on the shared gate, add a sensor light over the driveway, and fit a deadlock and a security screen to the door that faces it.
Reservoir homes and what they mean for security
Reservoir's streets were built up after the war with weatherboard and brick homes on large blocks, and many of those blocks now hold two or three units or townhouses along a shared driveway. Older homes have timber windows and doors, and front fences are often low. About 36% of homes were rented at the 2021 Census.
