Building & Development

Hurstville City Council promotes high quality, environmentally sustainable building and development.  Council aims to provide you with the necessary advice to prepare and submit a high-quality development application, which can be considered favourably.

When embarking on building and development projects, there are numerous laws, policies and industry standards which must be considered. These include:

• Acts and Regulations
• Local Environment Plans
• Development Control Plans
• Building Code of Australia
• Australian Standards 

Advice

While architectscommonly advise on small residential development designs, large and complex developments may require input from a wide range of experts. Contact Council for pre-development advice on complex buildings and developments before embarking on a project.
