Demolition Sylvania: Established Streets on the Georges River

The Sutherland Shire’s controls

A Sylvania demolition is assessed by Sutherland Shire Council under the Sutherland Shire Local Environmental Plan and the council’s development control plan. For a straightforward house demolition the pathway is often complying development assessed by a certifier; where the site is more constrained, or near the river, a development application applies. Two Shire features commonly shape the work: a protected tree canopy, so a demolition can need to work around protected trees and provide an arborist assessment, and, for blocks toward the Georges River, foreshore controls affecting how a demolition near the water is handled. We read these against your specific address before quoting.

Sylvania is a substantial, established suburb in its own right, and we quote and plan for it as one, from the streets around the shopping centre to the blocks nearer the water.

The work we do in Sylvania

• Full house demolition and knockdown-rebuild site preparation
• Partial and internal demolition, including single-wall removals
• Swimming pool removal, shed and garage removal
• Selective demolition around protected trees
• Site clearing and bulk excavation

On treed, foreshore or tight sites we use hand-demolition and non-destructive digging where machinery cannot safely reach, and we notify neighbours before we begin.
