What a paint job in Safety Beach has to deal with
The houses, the weather and the rules here, and what each means for the paint.
Martha Cove houses are coming up to a first repaint
Work on Martha Cove began in 2004. It takes up 94 hectares, 17 of them waterways that open to Port Phillip, with room for up to 1,150 waterside houses. The earliest are around twenty years old, about when a builder's original coat wears out. With a canal behind and the bay in front, no wall is sheltered. Balustrades and garage doors show it soonest, and bare metal is primed before colour.
Low, poorly drained ground shows at the foot of a wall
Martha Cove was dug out of a drainage basin, and the planning scheme puts parts of Safety Beach under an overlay for alluvial plain and reclaimed swamp, land it says may have limited drainage. On ground like that, paint gives way from the bottom up: the lowest boards, the base of a wall, the foot of a door frame. New paint won't hold while damp is still getting in, so the source has to be found first.
Original holiday cottages and their replacements
The first blocks were sold off Marine Drive and Dromana Parade around 1912, and by the late 1940s a guidebook called this a rapidly growing settlement. Victorian Places records that during the 1990s the first wave of cheaply built holiday houses was being replaced. So an early timber cottage can stand beside a much newer rebuild. They want different prep, and the written quote says which applies to yours.
One house in three locked up, one home in five a townhouse
At the 2021 census 1,252 of Safety Beach's 3,918 private dwellings were unoccupied, the median age was 53, and close to one occupied home in five was a townhouse or semi-detached. A locked house beside the bay can shed paint from a sill or a fascia for months before anyone sees it. Give the outside a proper look whenever you open the place up.

In Safety Beach, like anywhere, the cheapest quote skips the prep, uses cheap paint and does one coat. It looks fine for a few months, then it peels, and you're paying someone to strip it and start again.

Painting homes in Safety Beach
In Safety Beach, most houses were built from the late 1940s on, with many rebuilt since the 1990s. 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. Safety Beach sits on Port Phillip Bay, and salt air is hard on exterior paint and bare metal. About 20% of homes in Safety Beach are townhouses or semi-detached. For shared walls, fences and outside areas we can quote the owners corporation or strata manager directly. Safety Beach is low-lying bayside ground, with Martha Cove's marina and canal homes at one end and older beach streets at the other. Modern waterfront homes and older beach houses side by side mean matching prep and paint to each surface, with salt air on all of them. 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.
