What can affect your quote?
  • Floor area and storeysThe published bands step up with size; a double-storey house takes longer to bring down and produces more material.
  • Construction typeFibro and weatherboard come down faster than brick veneer, and full brick or concrete takes the longest to sort and remove.
  • AsbestosBonded asbestos removal is quoted from the assessment. Friable asbestos is removed by our Class A licensed partner.
  • Access and machineryNarrow frontages, battle-axe blocks and steep sites limit the machine we can bring in, which changes the time on site.
  • Pools, slabs and retaining wallsStructures beyond the house are priced as their own items so you can see what each one adds.
  • Council, certifier and utility feesApproval and disconnection fees are set by others. They are itemised separately in your written quote.

Council and approvals

Demolition approvals in the Macarthur region

We prepare and lodge the relevant demolition application. Council boundaries do not always follow our service areas, so we check the council, planning controls and any heritage requirements for your address.

If you already have approval for a new home, check whether it includes demolition. The council or certifier confirms the DA or CDC pathway and conditions. Your quote identifies responsibilities and external fees.

Check your property in the NSW Planning Portal Read the demolition permit guide

Our Macarthur service area spans three council areas: Campbelltown City Council, Camden Council and Liverpool City Council. All three councils publish heritage requirements that affect demolition. Campbelltown City Council and Liverpool City Council publish flood or bushfire mapping that can change the approval pathway. Campbelltown City Council and Camden Council name specific conservation areas.

Campbelltown City Council36 of our suburbs in this region
Approvals
Campbelltown City Council requires a DA to demolish a structure, prepared in line with its Demolition Application Requirements.
Heritage
Campbelltown City Council requires a Heritage Impact Statement for work on land with a heritage item or in a heritage conservation area, generally where significant elements are to be demolished. For total demolition, the statement must consider whether redevelopment is a reasonable option and include an archival recording of the building and its setting by a qualified heritage practitioner. Named conservation areas include Queen Street.
Trees
Campbelltown City Council says trees on private land may need its approval to prune or remove, depending on the circumstances, and prefers owners engage an AQF level 5 arborist to work out which approval pathway applies. Where a DA is needed for any reason, tree clearing follows the DA process.
Flood and bushfire
On bushfire prone land, Campbelltown City Council requires a DA to include a Bushfire Report from a qualified consultant or one prepared with the NSW Rural Fire Service application kit. A complying development application must include a Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) certificate from a qualified consultant.
Our summary of Campbelltown City Council’s demolition rules
Camden Council20 of our suburbs in this region
Approvals
Camden Council says development generally starts with a development application, and usually needs certification before construction.
Heritage
Camden Council only considers demolishing a heritage place as a last resort, with a Heritage Impact Statement showing alternatives were ruled out and the structure can’t be repaired, and an archival record made before approved demolition. It names Camden and Struggletown (Narellan) as heritage conservation areas. Named conservation areas include Camden, Struggletown, Narellan.
Our summary of Camden Council’s demolition rules
Liverpool City Council2 of our suburbs in this region
Approvals
Liverpool City Council advises checking whether a DA is needed before demolishing a building or a heritage item, as many activities can now proceed as exempt or complying development. DAs and certificates are lodged through the NSW Planning Portal.
Heritage
Liverpool City Council asks owners to check whether a DA is needed before altering, demolishing or damaging a heritage item, inside or out.
Trees
Pruning or removing a tree on private property needs council approval, with a tree defined as over 3.5 metres tall, a canopy over 4 metres and/or a trunk over 400 mm at 1 metre high. Exempt species such as willow, poplar and camphor laurel need no approval.
Flood and bushfire
The Georges and Nepean rivers run through Liverpool, and the council has adopted flood studies and floodplain risk management plans to guide development on flood prone land.
