Understanding Council Approvals in Roselands

Before work begins, we help determine if your renovation qualifies as:

• Exempt Development (minor cosmetic works, re-roofing, small decks or fencing)
• Complying Development (CDC) for eligible extensions, garages, or internal renovations
• Development Application (DA) for large-scale extensions, heritage-affected zones, or homes in flood-prone or bushfire areas

We liaise with Canterbury-Bankstown Council or a private certifier on your behalf and ensure your renovation progresses smoothly with all legal permissions in place.

• Many Roselands properties are located near Wolli Creek or the Cooks River, so flood zone assessments and drainage upgrades may be required
• Sloping blocks are common and may need excavation, retaining walls and custom foundations
• Older homes may contain asbestos or outdated wiring that must be safely removed and replaced
• The area’s history means some homes fall under heritage conservation controls, especially along Roselands Avenue and its surrounds
