Local notes
Before we start in Freshwater
What can change a waterproofing job here, and what it means for you.
Who approves the work
Homes are split between apartments, mostly in walk-up blocks, and separate houses. Owners corporations approve balcony and common-property work; in a house the owner decides.
Salt air
More than half the suburb is close to the ocean. Salt air and wind-driven rain are hardest on balcony sills, drainage outlets and balustrade fixings.
Digging below ground
A small part of the suburb is mapped in the buffer class next to higher-risk acid sulfate soils. Digging deep there for a basement, pool or retaining wall may need a soils plan.
