The builder-antenna problem in Melton
Estate covenants in Melton sometimes restrict where an antenna can go. A mast at the rear of the roof often satisfies the covenant and gets a better view toward Mt Dandenong than the builder's gable position anyway.
Melton signal facts
- Main transmitter
- Mt Dandenong
- Distance & direction
- 67 km, bearing 105° (east-south-east)
- Band & polarisation
- VHF, horizontal
- Channels
- VHF 6, 7, 8, 11 and 12 (plus UHF 32 for C31)
- What we usually fit
- A high-gain VHF/UHF combination antenna on a mast that clears the ridge
Distances and bearings are calculated from the centre of Melton; your roof may differ by a few degrees. Repeaters are low-power and directional, so we always confirm with a meter on site.
The signal's route to Melton
Draw a line from Melton toward Mt Dandenong at 105° and it crosses Fraser Rise, Keilor Downs, Niddrie, Pascoe Vale South, Doncaster, Rangeview and Croydon South before reaching the transmitter 67 km away.
Practical tip: stand where your antenna is and face east-south-east. If you can see a big tree, a new two-storey house or a hill within a few hundred metres, that is the first suspect.
What we install in Melton
Second-storey additions and loft conversions are starting to appear in Melton. If a neighbour's build has cut your path, we meter alternative positions on your roof before recommending a taller mast.
Common Melton call-outs
- Builder-supplied antenna too small for the distance

Melton: quick answers
Which direction should a Melton antenna face?
Toward Mt Dandenong: about 105° (east-south-east), 67 km away, VHF with horizontal polarisation.
Does my estate covenant restrict the antenna?
Some do. A rear-of-roof mast usually complies and often performs better than the builder position.
My Foxtel and free-to-air both dropped out — why?
They may share one cable through a diplexer that has failed. We test and replace it, or separate the services.
