Heritage Repointing in Learmonth
Stone is a real case in Learmonth. The City of Ballarat's precinct statement (HO 180, Learmonth Heritage Precinct) says buildings are generally constructed of brick, stone or weatherboard, and it names a stone Church of England among the township's churches. A repointing job here may be on stone, not only on brick.

Heritage Repointing around Learmonth
The precinct takes in the township of Learmonth, and its description comes from the City of Ballarat's Heritage Precincts Statements of Significance, written in 2006 and revised in August 2014, an Incorporated Document in the Ballarat Planning Scheme. The statement describes the precinct typically; it does not say which walls are stone or which are brick, and nothing on this page says an address is inside the precinct.
Stone and brick take mortar differently, so the question for a provider is what the wall is built of, what mortar was used and what the repair will match. The Heritage Council of Victoria's code on lime mortars says accurate assessment of condition and repair needs is an essential step before specifying a mortar.
Permits and City of Ballarat rules
Whether a repointing job at an address here needs a permit depends on the property, not the suburb. This page does not say whether any address is in a Heritage Overlay or on the Victorian Heritage Register; the City of Ballarat's Heritage Advisors can say, and Heritage Victoria for a Register place.
