Why Ballarat's winters matter for repointing: the code's 5°C line and the weather recordThe Heritage Council of Victoria's repointing code (June 2020) lists temperatures below 5°C as unacceptable working conditions unless misting systems maintain humidity, and asks for four weeks' protection from frost, rain, sun and wind. Ballarat Aerodrome's mean minimum temperature in July is 3.2 °C, so winter is a real question for a quote. The weather page has the monthly figures, and the costs and rules check lists every code line with its source.By Artigellence · 6 October 2026 · from Ballarat
