Owners or buyers of heritage-listed properties or homes in an HCA who want expert guidance before committing to a design or a purchase.
A 60-minute consultation with an experienced heritage consultant for owners of listed properties or homes in a Heritage Conservation Area (HCA). We check your property's status under the Inner West Local Environmental Plan (IWLEP), walk through what you want to do, and give you straight advice on opportunities, constraints and the right approval pathway — with a short written note of the key points.
They are different things with different rules, and plenty of owners are unsure which applies. Confirming your exact status is the first thing we do.
Usually yes — heritage controls protect significance, not every brick. Rear additions, interior changes and sympathetic alterations are approved constantly. The consultation tells you where the genuine limits sit.
If you lodge a DA on a listed item or in an HCA, almost certainly. That is a separate fixed-scope service, and this consultation tells you exactly what yours will need to cover.
Very. An hour of advice on what the listing means for your renovation plans is cheap insurance against buying a constraint you did not understand.
The consultation covers initial guidance, but State-listed items involve Heritage NSW approvals with their own process — see the Section 60 eligibility review for the next step.
