Learn MoreLane Cove is a leafy North Shore suburb bordered by national park and river foreshore. Its 1950s–70s brick homes offer genuine renovation potential, and the council has specific controls around stormwater, vegetation, and heritage pockets.
Lane Cove Council processes most residential DAs within 40 days from lodgement. We prepare complete, compliant applications under the Lane Cove LEP and DCP, minimising requests for information and delays.
Properties backing onto Lane Cove National Park face specific bushfire and biodiversity overlay controls. We assess these early in design and factor required buffers and fire-resistant materials into your project plan.
Lane Cove's hilly terrain and established tree canopy create complex stormwater conditions. We engage hydraulic engineers where needed and design drainage solutions that satisfy council requirements.
Longueville, Northwood, and Linley Point properties near the Lane Cove River have foreshore setback and visual impact controls. T/BUILD has experience designing renovations and extensions that satisfy these scenic protection requirements.
We visit your Lane Cove property, assess the site, and discuss your goals and budget.
We prepare compliant plans and manage the Lane Cove Council DA or CDC process.
Transparent, itemised pricing — you know the total cost before we break ground.
Quality construction delivered on schedule with a certified, finished result.
Minor internal works can proceed without council approval or under a complying development certificate. Extensions and structural changes generally require a Development Application through Lane Cove Council. T/BUILD assesses your project and recommends the fastest, most cost-effective approval route.
If so, your property may have additional bushfire (BAL) and biodiversity overlay controls. T/BUILD checks your property's planning certificates before design begins and ensures your project satisfies all overlay requirements — avoiding costly redesigns mid-approval.
Yes, second-storey extensions are common in Lane Cove. Council's DCP sets height limits, setbacks, and privacy screening requirements. Most houses can accommodate a second storey within these controls. We assess feasibility during our free consultation.
We engage hydraulic engineers for complex sites and design site drainage that directs stormwater to council-approved disposal points. This is costed into your project from the start — no surprises during construction.
