Wollongong Coastal and Escarpment Roofing Conditions
Wollongong's ocean-facing coastal suburbs (Thirroul, Bulli, Austinmer) experience significant salt air and storm exposure, metal roofing in Wollongong coastal areas should be Zincalume or painted Colorbond (not galvanised steel) to resist corrosion. Escarpment-facing properties (Keiraville, Figtree, Mount Saint Thomas) are exposed to strong southerly winds funnelled by the escarpment, ensure roof tie-downs are adequate for the wind loading in these exposed locations. fairtrading.nsw.gov.au
