A campus, not a suburb of houses
Acton, ACT lies just west of the city centre and is dominated by the Australian National University campus, with research organisations on the slopes of Black Mountain and the National Museum of Australia on Acton Peninsula. The lakeside area near the city has been developed with apartments, hotels, offices and hospitality venues. There are very few freestanding homes, so we don’t pretend otherwise: most Acton painting is in offices, residences, apartments and shared spaces.

Working around occupied buildings
University and research buildings, student residences and apartment blocks are used day and night. We plan work in stages, use low-odour paints, protect equipment and corridors, and fit in with each site’s induction and access rules. For apartment owners in the lakeside precinct, we repaint interiors between tenancies or before a sale, within the building’s by-laws.
Offices and public buildings
We can work within site inductions and access requirements, and stage work so spaces stay in use. More on painting in Inner North Canberra.
