Restumping Dromana
Restumping Dromana starts with a quote request, and the service passes your details to one licensed local restumper.
Mornington Peninsula Restumping is a quote service. It does no work itself. The restumper who quotes your house is licensed and local.
Older cottages and hillside homes in Dromana
Dromana housing runs from older weatherboard and fibro cottages to beachside units and newer homes on the hills.
At the 2021 Census, 81% of the 5,388 occupied dwellings were detached houses. Older timber houses are the ones most likely to need their stumps (piers) checked.
Ground under Dromana houses
Dromana's soil is mapped as an alluvial fan on Quaternary alluvial sediments, with Yellow and Grey Sodosols.
Across the wider Peninsula, the Bittern soil unit is predominant. It is duplex, hard and mottled. The restumper who quotes will check the ground at your house, since soil can differ from lot to lot.
Heritage Overlays and permits in Dromana
Mornington Peninsula Shire is the council for Dromana. It says building permits come from private building surveyors and are needed before building work begins.
Heritage Overlays cover some Dromana places, including the Dromana Hotel on Point Nepean Road and the Peninsula Heights Residential Estate at Arthurs Seat Road. If your house is near one, mention it in your request.
Restumping and reblocking: what the restumper checks
Restumping, also called reblocking, replaces failing stumps or piers under a house. The restumper who quotes may also look at relevelling, underpinning and stump replacement.
Renovation or remodel plans, and any extension or addition, are worth mentioning in your request. They can change what needs doing under the floor.

Questions from Dromana
Do Dromana houses on the hills need different restumping from beachside ones?
The restumper decides this on site, because ground and house type differ. Dromana has older weatherboard and fibro cottages, beachside units and newer hill homes. Arthurs Seat, a steep granite hill 314 m above sea level, rises behind the town, so slope may matter on some lots.
Does Dromana's soil affect restumping?
It can, and the restumper checks the ground at your house. State mapping lists Dromana as an alluvial fan with Yellow and Grey Sodosols. A reblocking business says Peninsula soils range from sandy near the foreshore to reactive clay inland, but that is not a soil survey.
Do I need a permit in Dromana?
Ask the restumper who quotes. The notes found no rule on restumping specifically. Mornington Peninsula Shire says building permits come from private building surveyors and are needed before building work begins.
Does a Heritage Overlay change anything in Dromana?
It may, if your property is covered. Amendment C214morn put permanent Heritage Overlays on heritage places in Dromana and other suburbs. Check with the Shire and tell the restumper.
