The suburb where the boat shed doubles as the office.
Sylvania is a harbourside pocket of the Sutherland Shire, and the money shows before anything else does. Median household income runs to $1,961 a week, well ahead of most of Sydney, and the population spending it is older and settled: median age 46, with 25.7% of residents already over 65. Construction is the biggest trade across the Sutherland Shire, 5,118 businesses strong, building and renovating along the waterfront and inland alike. This isn't a suburb of young renters churning through each year; it's owner-occupiers who've been here a while and can afford tradesmen, specialists and shopfitters who do the job properly the first time.
"Everyone around here already knows us" is the line that keeps a Sylvania trade off Google for one more year. But 10,749 people is not the small town that sentence imagines, it is a big enough crowd for three plumbers, two physios and a mortgage broker to all be chasing the same referral, and for a marine mechanic on the water to lose a job to a rival's ad in Miranda before the phone even rings. Family income here runs to $2,358 a week, so the customer texting at nine at night can actually afford to pay properly and has no reason to wait on a recommendation. A fast, credible website is what makes "everyone already knows us" true again, because it puts the business in front of the search instead of behind it.
