A new suburb
Whitlam, ACT is a recent Molonglo Valley suburb, with homes built from the 2020s and development continuing. There is no older housing to describe, so this page covers new homes.
Getting new finishes right

Moving into a new Whitlam home
Whitlam is one of the newest suburbs in the Molonglo Valley, and many homes are recently completed. If you are moving in, decide early what you want painted: an empty house is quicker and causes less disruption. Builder-grade paint can be upgraded to a washable finish in busy areas, and colour or a feature wall added where you want it. Check estate guidelines before changing exterior colours, and raise any defects with your builder while the warranty applies.
Before work starts
Builder-grade paint is usually a single coat that marks easily; a quality washable finish holds up much better. More on painting in Molonglo Valley.
Common questions
Can you paint before we move furniture in?
Yes, and it’s quicker in an empty house.
Do you work across the Molonglo Valley?
Yes.
Should we paint before or after landscaping?
Interior work can happen any time. Exterior touch-ups are easiest before landscaping goes in.
Can you add colour to a new Whitlam home without repainting everything?
Yes. A feature wall or a couple of key rooms is an easy first step.
