Oakleigh is a suburb in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia 14 km south-east of Melbourne's Central Business District, located within the City of Monash local government area. Oakleigh recorded a population of 8,442 at the 2021 census.Once a large independent city, Oakleigh was absorbed into Melbourne as part of the eastward expansion of the metropolis in the 1950s. As a result, it once had its own large historic Central Business District, its own municipality in the former City of Oakleigh and its own suburbs. The area is traditionally known to have a strong Greek cultural influence, largely due to the influx of immigrants to Australia in the mid-20th century. Thirteen per cent of those living in the suburb speak only Greek at home.Although the origin of the name of the suburb, "Oakleigh," is unclear, local historians have three main theories – that it was derived from she-oaks that grew near Scotchmans Creek; from "Oakleigh Park" an estate near Malvern Hills in England; or from Mrs Oakley, an early settler. == History == Originally inhabited by the Kulin people, a grazing run was established in the settled district east of Melbourne in the early 1840s, for which the lease was taken up by farmers John and Archibald McMillan. Scotchman's Creek Run, as it became known, was named after the Scottish settlers in the area in and near the run (including the McMillan, Campbell, and McPherson families). By 1853, Scotchman's Creek was known as South Yarra Creek, due to the well known South Yarra Pound (built in the area in the early 1840s on behalf of the government to collect stray livestock) and the associated South Yarra Inn. Part of the Parish of Mulgrave, County of Bourke, Oakleigh was first surveyed in 1853, and the first blocks of land were sold soon after. Oakleigh Post Office opened on 1 August 1854.The Shire of Oakleigh was created in 1871 and a boom in settlement followed the opening of the Melbourne-Oakleigh railway line in 1877.
A1 Showerscreens is good value for money. The boys worked two full hours to install two different screens for me which really modernised my bathrooms. They cleaned up n discarded the old screens too, so I don’t have to kill myself afterwards. Thank you so much boys
Great Work A1 Thank you for installing my shower Very Professional & Friendly team and you were all great to deal with.
We were wanting to update our front door flyscreen, and were recommended A1 Shower Screens. They provided us with a sample mesh colour to make sure that we were happy - which was exactly what we were after. The turnaround to installation was prompt, and they even took away our old flyscreen for disposal! We couldn't be happier with the look of our new flyscreen and the service provided by A1 !
Call them for a quote to reinstall shower screen after some works done to the shower. The quote was very reasonable compared to other companies. Daniel came out to do the installation and he was very easy going, friendly and did a great job. Would definitely recommend.
