Local notes
Before we start in Kurnell
What can change a waterproofing job here, and what it means for you.
Who approves the work
Almost all homes in Kurnell are separate houses, with a few semis and townhouses. Most wet-area and balcony jobs are decided by the homeowner, with no strata approval.
Salt air
Kurnell has an ocean frontage and a Botany Bay shoreline, and many parts are close to the open coast. Salt air and wind-driven rain are hardest on balcony sills, drainage outlets and balustrade fixings.
Digging below ground
Almost all of Kurnell is mapped for acid sulfate soils under Sutherland Shire's planning rules, most of it at higher risk. Digging a basement, pool or retaining wall may need council consent and a soils plan.
