Geelong Coastal Winds and Heritage Terracotta Roofs

Geelong's exposure to southern ocean winds across Port Phillip Bay means roofing must be well-secured, older homes in exposed bay-facing positions (Rippleside, Drumcondra) should have roof tie-downs inspected. Geelong's inner suburbs have a significant collection of original Edwardian and Federation terracotta tile roofs, these are worth preserving and repairing with matching tiles where possible. Colorbond metal roofing is increasingly popular in Geelong's newer outer suburbs (Armstrong Creek, Charlemont) for its durability and low maintenance. vba.vic.gov.au
