Soft water and a new cat curfew: keeping a Carnegie home clean
Carnegie’s tap water comes from South East Water, which lists the suburb in its Caulfield sampling locality (610), supplied from the Cardinia and Silvan treatment plants and the Victorian Desalination Plant. Across its network, 20 hardness samples in 2024–25 averaged 18 mg/L and peaked at 27 mg/L, well under the 200 mg/L level the report gives for limiting scale build-up in hot water systems (South East Water, Drinking Water Quality Report 2024–25).
In a soft-water suburb, the film on shower screens and chrome taps is more often soap residue than thick mineral scale. A quick wipe after showering stops it building up, and leaves less for the bathroom on moving day.
Glen Eira City Council adopted a night-time cat curfew in November 2025. From late 2026, cats must stay on their owner’s property between 7pm and 6am (Glen Eira City Council: Cat curfew). More evenings indoors usually means more fur on rugs, couches and carpeted bedrooms, so plan a regular vacuum and a carpet clean before you hand back the keys.
Renting with a pet? Victorian renters ask with a pet request form, one per animal, and the rental provider has 14 days to decide. They can’t charge an extra ‘pet bond’, and renters must still keep the property reasonably clean (Consumer Affairs Victoria: Pets).
Moving out of a Carnegie apartment or townhouse: building rules and cleaning
With so many Carnegie homes in apartment blocks and townhouse groups (see the census figures under Renting in Carnegie), the owners corporation’s rules often shape moving day. In Victoria those rules can cover moving furniture through common property, the use of car parks and how household rubbish is disposed of, and they apply to occupiers and guests as well as owners (Consumer Affairs Victoria: Owners corporation rules).
- Ask your building or strata manager about lift bookings, loading areas and visitor parking before the removalists and cleaners arrive.
- Add gate codes, intercom details and parking notes to your booking, so the clean can start at your preferred time once the team confirms it.
- Keep the power and water connected until the clean is finished.

Moving day in Carnegie: parking, skips and unwanted furniture
Carnegie is in the area of Glen Eira City Council. Here’s what it publishes about moving day.
- Glen Eira needs a permit to occupy Council land or a road for any non-road activity, including reserving parking spaces. Email the application to Council at least seven days ahead.
- A skip on a road or nature strip needs a permit (usually arranged by the supplier); in your own driveway, no permit is needed.
- Council’s guide suggests reselling good furniture or donating it to op shops or through Donate Direct.
In Victoria, it’s illegal to put e-waste in household rubbish, so take old electronics to an e-waste drop-off.
