Umina Beach: worth knowing before you renovate

Umina's sandplain neighbourhoods have original cottages and mid-20th-century bungalows: modest single-storey timber-framed homes clad in boards or sheets, under hipped roofs of tile or corrugated iron, the Council's character statement says. At the end of September 2013, the Central Coast Express Advocate reported, a falling tree demolished the upper storey of a pole home at Umina Beach. Say the word, and a licensed asbestos removalist can call you back.

At the 2021 Census, the median age of people in Umina Beach was 44.

A falling tree demolished the upper storey of a two-storey pole home at Umina Beach on a Sunday night at the end of September 2013, with strong winds suspected of weakening the ground around it, the Central Coast Express Advocate reported.

Central Coast Council said in January 2018 that a significant coastal storm in April 2015 drastically worsened erosion at Ocean and Umina beaches, and that its short-term protection for The Esplanade included a temporary wall covering more than 100 metres of beach.

Planning to update an older cottage? Don’t sand, cut or drill wall sheets until you know what they are; a lab test of a sample is the only way to find out (asbestos testing). If a storm or a falling branch has broken cladding or roofing, NSW Health’s advice is to keep away from it, wet it, and cover it with plastic until someone qualified can deal with it (NSW Health). Children and pets should stay clear of any broken pieces in the meantime.

When you call, let us know the material, which part of the house or yard it’s on, and the rough size. Is it broken, or still in place? Has anyone tested it? If the roof is involved, tell us whether it’s tile or corrugated sheeting, and whether water is getting in. Roughly when the cottage was built, and whether you own or rent it, are useful too.
