About Highland Park
Highland Park sits at the green western edge of the Gold Coast, a suburb of undulating streets and blocks that run larger than the coastal average. The housing is predominantly 1980s and 90s brick-and-tile family homes — a solid, settled stock now at the age where original tile roofing, wet-area waterproofing and external sealants come into the report as standard. On the suburb's hillier streets and along the golf-course boundary, blocks slope across or downhill, bringing retaining walls between lots, stepped or split-level slabs and cross-site drainage paths into the inspection — elements that age alongside the structures and need methodical assessment.
Vegetation is the defining factor here. Highland Park carries a deeper, more established canopy than suburbs closer to the coast: gully systems, large mature gardens and the bushland corridors lining the suburb's edge all sustain genuine year-round termite pressure. We work the AS 4349.3 side of the inspection carefully — slab-edge and weep-hole bridging from decades of garden growth, moisture on shaded south-facing aspects, timber-to-soil contact from older fence posts and garden framing, and any termite management that may have lapsed between owners.
