Ocean Grove: houses, ground and history

Ocean Grove has become an outer suburb of Geelong since the 1960s, with a building boom in the 1970s and 80s. One much older house is 'Almora' on The Parade, a large weatherboard probably built in the 1890s and later a guest house. VICSES records seven significant floods in Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads between 1909 and 2002. Leave your details, and a registered restumper can be in touch.

Ocean Grove’s building boom ran through the 1970s and 80s. The largest of those floods, in 1952, reached 1.9 metres at the Sheepwash Road gauge. If your home has had water under it, the inspection should cover the subfloor and vents as well as the stumps. Ask what the stumps are made of and how they’ve held up.

‘Almora’ is under heritage overlay HO1604. If your home is in an overlay too, it’s wise to check with the City first, especially if the house is to be raised; its heritage information sheet explains. Have the address handy, along with the house’s rough age and the signs you’ve noticed. Mention any extensions. You can also send them through the estimate request. Your details then go, with your consent, to one registered restumper in Ocean Grove.
