Development Applications in Sydney

Navigating the DA Process with Ease

Submitting a Development Application (DA) in Sydney can be daunting, particularly with heritage conservation areas or complex site restrictions. At Banksia Building Design, we manage everything, from creating detailed plans to liaising with the council, making the process hassle-free.

Each council has its own Local Environmental Plan (LEP) and Development Control Plan (DCP), outlining approval guidelines for different areas. We ensure your project adheres to these regulations, including zoning, heritage, and environmental considerations, giving you confidence at every step.
