Whittington: houses, ground and history

Whittington filled quickly in the 1960s, when more than 500 Housing Commission units were built there. A large part of the suburb was laid out in cul de sacs and courts to slow traffic and make room for neighbourhood reserves. The City describes the wider Moolap Plains zone as mostly flat, with poor to moderate drainage. We can find you a registered restumper who covers Whittington.

The City’s plant-zone sheet describes the Moolap Plains, which include Whittington, as alluvial loam soils with some sands, gravels and clays, mostly flat, with poor to moderate drainage. Ground like that can stay wet after rain. That’s a reason to have the subfloor checked for standing water and blocked vents during a restumping inspection, not just the stumps.

Much of Whittington was built in the 1960s. The job needs a building permit, which a building surveyor or the builder normally sorts out. When you get in touch, have the address and a description of the signs ready, such as doors that won’t latch or a floor that has dropped in one corner. Say whether you own the house or rent it. We’ll then put you in touch with one registered restumper who covers Whittington.
