1970s and 80s beach cottages
The streets nearest the foreshore. Small single-storey brick and asbestos-sheet homes, low pitched roofs, carports rather than garages, often extended once at the back.
Where it fails an inspection
- Aluminium window frames pitted by salt, which clean up but never look new
- Louvre windows in sleepouts and rear extensions, the slowest window in the state
- Old exhaust fans where the grille has to come off to pass
- Sand under everything, including inside the wardrobes
