What do I need to apply for a DA application in St George Area?

Whether you are doing residential home extensions, new home design, or doing alterations and additions, around the St George Area, you are likely to need to apply for a DA approval in the St George Area. The most common councils will be Hurstville City Council, Kogarah City Council, Sutherland Shire Council, Rockdale City Council, to name a few.

Apply a DA approval can be harder than it seems if you don’t have qualified architectural design drawings and other necesary paperwork; often you will be knocked back a few times due to the lack of sufficient information.

A general idea of a sufficient DA package includes: (may varies depending on your local council)

• Architectural design drawings
• Statement of Environmental Effects
• Application forms and payment
• Consultant reports - hydraulics, arborist, engineering, landscape
• Heritage report, if your land/ dwelling is heritage list

For sure, you cannot get all the work completed yourself especially if a lot of the reports need to be done by a qualified and/or registered consultant.

At Go Design Solutions, we offer to do the complete package for you, that’s including residential drafting design, architectural design drawing, DA applications lodgement and of course site surveys and inspections.
