Eco Demolition takes down houses, pools, sheds and internal walls for property owners across Carss Park and the wider St George area. Then we clear the site for whatever you are building next. We work as one licensed contractor under Georges River Council, family-operated and handling demolition and site jobs since 2015, with more than 1,000 completed. The private demolition records around Carss Park follow a steady pattern: an old house or pool cleared, the ground made good, a new home to follow. Run as one contract, that job keeps the approval, the asbestos and the site works under a single point of contact, at one fixed price.

Demolition services for Carss Park property owners
Most private demolition in Carss Park is residential: an older house cleared for a knockdown-rebuild, or part of one taken down for a big renovation. That, and the site work around it, is what we take on under one contract:
- Full and partial house demolition, from a complete knockdown to keeping a facade or wing
- In-ground swimming pool removal and site restoration
- Internal strip-outs, plus office and shop strip-outs for commercial tenancies
- Shed, garage and outbuilding removal
- Site clearing, bulk excavation and earthworks for the rebuild
Whether it is a whole house or a single internal wall, one licensed team runs it at one fixed price.
Eco Demolition, in brief
Eco Demolition is a family-operated demolition and asbestos contractor founded by Adam A. Abbas. We have run demolition, strip-out and site work across Sydney since 2015, with more than 1,000 projects behind us on residential, commercial and government sites. What we bring to a Carss Park job is the council process handled properly: one licensed team carrying the work from the Georges River Council approval through to a clean, construction-ready block, with a single point of contact throughout. We cover Carss Park and the neighbouring St George suburbs, including Blakehurst and Connells Point. Our licence numbers, accreditations, insurance and reviews are set out in full on our main Sydney demolition service.
CDC, DA or exempt: the approval routes in Carss Park
The approval usually shapes your timeline more than the demolition itself does. Carss Park sits wholly within Georges River Council, which assesses a demolition here under the current Georges River Local Environmental Plan 2021 and Development Control Plan 2021. Those replaced the former Kogarah instruments, so check any older advice against the 2021 plans.
Not every demolition needs a development application, and some need no application at all. There are three broad routes:
- Exempt development: minor work that meets every condition in the State planning rules can go ahead with no approval.
- Complying Development Certificate (CDC): a faster, code-based approval an accredited certifier or the Council can issue when a straightforward demolition meets the State codes.
- Development Application (DA): the full route, assessed by Georges River Council, for anything outside those codes.
What pushes a job to a DA is the site itself. Where a property is heritage-listed, sits in a conservation area or on environmentally sensitive land, or its scope falls outside the complying-development standards, the Council may require a DA. We work out which route your address qualifies for, prepare the documents and lodge them for you.
Swimming pool removal and demolish-to-rebuild
Around Carss Park, a demolition often comes with a pool. The demolish-and-rebuild jobs on the local planning record tend to pair a house knockdown with an in-ground pool, sometimes a dual-occupancy split as well. Taking a pool out is its own task: the shell is broken up, the plumbing capped, the void backfilled and compacted, and the ground brought back to a level, buildable surface. We handle pool removal and site restoration inside the one contract, so the block is handed over ready for the next slab rather than left with a hole where the pool was.
Contaminated land, soil and compliant disposal
Not every demolition ends when the last wall comes down. Where the ground beneath a building is contaminated, the soil has to be tested, then removed or remediated and disposed of under NSW EPA rules before the site is safe to build on. Carss Park has clear local precedent for this: within the Georges River Council area, a site has been demolished and its ground remediated under EPA direction. Eco Demolition offers contaminated land remediation, contaminated soil removal and EPA-compliant disposal, so if testing turns up a problem below the slab, the same licensed team that took the building down can make the ground good.
Asbestos, cleared before the structure comes down
If a building went up before the 1990s, asbestos is a real possibility, usually in fibro sheeting, eaves, cement pipes or old floor backing. It is dealt with before demolition, never during, so every job starts with a pre-demolition inspection for asbestos and other hazardous material. Where it is present, our licensed removalists take it out first, under SafeWork NSW and NSW EPA rules, for disposal at a licensed facility. Asbestos comes in two forms: non-friable, bonded into solid sheeting, and friable, which is loose or crumbling and controlled far more tightly. Friable removal is Class A work, and for it the air monitoring and clearance certificate are issued by an independent licensed assessor we arrange and coordinate, never sign off ourselves. Structural demolition begins only once the site is cleared and certified.
What shapes the price of a Carss Park demolition
Demolition has no fixed rate per square metre, so anyone quoting one down the phone is guessing. Your price is driven by the size and build of the structure, whether asbestos or a pool is involved, how easily a truck and machine reach the site, the approval route, and the volume of waste to cart away. So we visit, look at the actual site, and put one figure in writing. Under our Fixed Price Guarantee, the price we quote is the price you pay: no hidden extras once work starts, unless you change the scope. The quote is free.

Demolition Carss Park FAQs
You can, but not freelance. In NSW, demolition work must be carried out by an appropriately licensed demolisher and any asbestos removed by a licensed removalist, under the NSW Work Health and Safety Regulation 2017, SafeWork NSW requirements and NSW EPA rules. You also need the right approval, a CDC or a DA, before work starts. That is why most owners hand the whole job to one contractor rather than managing licence, approval, asbestos and disposal themselves.
It depends on the property, not the suburb, and it is worth settling early because it drives your timeline. Many straightforward knockdowns qualify as complying development and run on a faster CDC. If the property is heritage-listed, in a conservation area or on environmentally sensitive land, or the scope falls outside the codes, Georges River Council may require a full DA. We confirm which route your address qualifies for before you commit.
It is sorted on site and recycled wherever it can be, with the rest sent to licensed facilities for compliant disposal under NSW EPA rules. Concrete, brick, metal and timber are separated for recycling; asbestos and any contaminated material are handled separately under the appropriate licences. The disposal records form part of the compliance paperwork you receive at handover.
