Local knowledge
Painting in Coogee
Coogee is defined by its Art Deco apartment blocks, period homes with high ceilings and sash windows, and a cosmopolitan village atmosphere. The suburb's proximity to the ocean means salt air is a significant factor for any exterior paint system. Beachfront properties along Arden Street and the surrounding clifftop streets need marine-grade coatings to withstand the coastal conditions. Many of Coogee's character buildings fall within Randwick Council heritage conservation areas, which means colour schemes and painting approaches need to respect the suburb's architectural heritage.

What does painting a home in Coogee involve?
Four out of five occupied homes in Coogee are flats or apartments: 4,961 of them at the 2021 Census, against just 655 separate houses (ABS QuickStats, Coogee, 2021). Unit work is the norm here rather than the exception. The blocks behind Arden and Dolphin Streets run from the 1930s onwards, which usually means hard plaster walls, timber sash windows, tiled entry stairs and an owners corporation that has to approve anything on common property before a brush is opened.
The one heritage conservation area inside Coogee is Dudley Street, covering houses in Dudley, Thomas and Higgs Streets that face Baker and Leete Parks. Randwick City Council describes large Federation Queen Anne, Inter-War Mediterranean and Functionalist houses with bowed windows, original fences and sandstone kerbing (Dudley Street statement of significance). Bowed sashes and fine mouldings there want hand preparation, not a fast machine cut.
