Roofs in Tewantin: what we see and what we do
Tewantin is the oldest settlement on the Noosa River and the shire's civic centre, with 11,164 residents spread from the historic streets near the ferry to the 1970s to 2000s suburbs climbing toward Cooroibah. Old Queenslanders under corrugated iron and terracotta-tiled homes sit near Poinciana Avenue; the later streets are brick with low-pitch concrete tiles. Many of those 1970s and 80s tile roofs are on their first coating and their ridge mortar has cracked.
The river frontage is salt water, so Tewantin sits in the C4 near-coastal band under AS 4312, dropping to C3 on the western hills. Gutters and valleys corrode on the river streets, and the low-pitch tiles further back hold moss under the trees. Tewantin is in Noosa Shire, where restoration and painting need no approval. Seaspray Restos cleans, re-points, replaces rusted metal and coats Tewantin roofs with primer and two membrane coats.
Things to watch on Tewantin roofs
- Rust on gutters and valleys of river-street homes

- Moss at the laps of low-pitch tiles on the hill streets
