Heritage Masonry Repair in Parkside
The Unley Heritage Research Study (2006) says of the property on Young Street, Parkside, that the brick quoining and door dressing appear to be alternating white and red brick, although this could be painted. A council fact sheet says not to paint old masonry walls, which can trap moisture. If your house is a heritage place, ask the council what applies first.

Heritage Masonry Repair around Parkside
The study says of the property on Young Street, Parkside: "The brick quoining and door dressing appear to be alternating white and red brick, although this could be painted." It is a description of one house at survey time, not the wall today, and it does not say that any particular house is a heritage place.
The Norwood Payneham & St Peters fact sheet says of old masonry: Ensure old masonry walls are not painted, as this can trap the moisture and force it inside. Ask the provider what any coating would do to moisture in the wall, and ask the council whether approval is needed.
Permits and City of Unley rules
Whether masonry work here needs approval is for the council to confirm: the State's guide lists masonry and plaster and re-pointing among the work that typically needs development approval at a State Heritage Place or Area.
