What a paint job in Mount Martha has to deal with
The houses, the weather and the rules here, and what each means for the paint.
Rendered estate houses now old enough for a repaint
Mount Martha had 615 residents in 1961 and filled out in the 1990s and 2000s, when the former Balcombe army camp became housing as well. Shire property records show roughly 80% of houses going up after 1980, and the Shire describes the estate ones as mostly single storey brick finished in render. Ageing render lets water in through fine cracks, which get filled ahead of any new colour.
Tall rendered walls on a granite hill with no beach below
The mount is 161 metres of granite, and the shore between Balcombe Point and Martha Point is cliff. The Shire's character study writes of steep streets of contemporary rendered houses, commonly two storeys. They face the bay unsheltered. Our painters reach the tall downhill side from lifts such as cherry pickers.
One colour rule repeated across three overlays
Three Shire design overlays cover Mount Martha's bay streets, coast and bush edge, and all carry one colour rule: trim and cladding in muted green, brown, beige or another approved colour, with finishes below 40 per cent reflectivity, the roof included. Most heritage listings here also have outside paint controls. Check both before ordering paint.
Bushland next door means green walls and blocked gutters
The Balcombe Estuary reserves put 76 hectares of bush between Nepean Highway and the coast, and the Shire notes heavily treed streets east of the highway. Beside bush, the cold side of a house grows green and gutters clog. Walls need washing and time to dry, and outside painting waits if rain or a heavy dew is forecast.
Big family houses, few rentals, and shops on the water
With 45.6% of homes at four or more bedrooms and only 12.1% rented, inside work mostly means a large, lived-in family house. One dwelling in seven was unoccupied at the 2021 census, a trace of the old holiday village. The shops on Lochiel Avenue face the bay across the Esplanade, so their metal and timber take salt daily.

Painting homes in Mount Martha
In Mount Martha, most houses were built after World War II, and quickly through the 1990s and 2000s. 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. Mount Martha sits on Port Phillip Bay, and salt air is hard on exterior paint and bare metal. About 15% of homes in Mount Martha are townhouses or semi-detached. For shared walls, fences and outside areas we can quote the owners corporation or strata manager directly. Mount Martha's hillside homes with bay views are exposed to wind and salt, which is hard on exterior paint and timber decks. Steep driveways and sloping blocks are common, so access and safe setup are part of planning every exterior job here. 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.
