What a paint job in Blairgowrie has to deal with
The houses, the weather and the rules here, and what each means for the paint.
Small 1960s beach houses beside much larger newer ones
A Shire heritage study dates Blairgowrie's main building wave to the 1960s and 1970s: small, spare modernist beach houses and fibro shacks sitting lightly on large blocks. From the 1980s and 1990s bigger houses began to fill whole blocks. Both kinds share the same streets, and they are different jobs. Timber and render we paint. We don't take on old fibro, so say what the walls are made of when you ask for a quote.
A winter north-westerly strong enough to need a wave barrier
The yacht squadron's own history describes a strong prevailing north-westerly in winter, and a barrier of about 50 metres was built to shield its harbour from the wind and waves. The ocean beach at Koonya faces Bass Strait on the opposite shore. Wind off the water like that brings salt with it. Railings, fixings and gutters rust soonest, and bare metal is primed ahead of any colour.
Two houses in three empty, and most of the rest owned outright
At the 2021 census 65.2% of Blairgowrie's 3,530 private dwellings were unoccupied. The median age is 58, 57.6% of occupied homes are owned outright and just 13.4% are rented. These are family beach houses, and plenty are being readied to retire to. The months the place is closed suit inside work. Outside, it hangs on the weather: nothing is started with rain or a heavy dew on the way.
Colour limits, protected cottages and a shopping strip from 1955
Parts of Blairgowrie fall under a Shire design overlay asking for muted greens, browns and beiges and finishes under 40 per cent reflectivity. A few old places have heritage paint controls too, 15 The Loop with its notched weatherboards being one. The shops along Point Nepean Road grew out of the Wilsons Estate sale of 1955, which offered 18 shop sites, so the oldest shopfronts carry about seventy years of paint.

Painting homes in Blairgowrie
In Blairgowrie, most houses were built after World War II. Houses from before 1970 can have lead-based paint in the older layers. Aussie Painting doesn't do lead paint removal, so if you're not sure, have it tested before any sanding. Blairgowrie sits on Port Phillip Bay and Bass Strait, and salt air is hard on exterior paint and bare metal. Blairgowrie sits on the Peninsula's narrowest point, with bay beaches on one side, rocky ocean beaches on the other and moonah woodland in between. Holiday homes tucked among the moonah and tea tree stay shaded and salty, so mould treatment is often part of the job. I'm Daniel Dimsey, born and raised on the Mornington Peninsula. Aussie Painting is a local, Australian-owned business painting house interiors and exteriors across Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. We genuinely care about every job: we use Dulux paints and put the real time into preparation, because good preparation is what stops paint flaking and peeling early. Interior walls and ceilings are backed by our 7-year workmanship guarantee, and all work is done by qualified painters.
