Cheltenham is postcode 2119, and Hornsby Shire Council assesses almost every demolition in it. Demolition in Cheltenham carries one quirk worth clearing up first: the name is shared with a suburb of Melbourne and a town in Gloucestershire, England, so a search for a contractor here returns plenty that has nothing to do with New South Wales. Super Demolition works the New South Wales one, licensed for the demolition and the asbestos.
Super Demolition is a family owned and managed demolition contractor working in Cheltenham, New South Wales. We take down houses, garages, sheds, pools and commercial fitouts and remove asbestos, holding a current Demolition Licence and a current Asbestos Removal Licence, and working to Australian Standard 2601-2001 under WorkCover requirements. Demolition here is assessed by Hornsby Shire Council for almost every address. Phone 0455 888 819.
Three places carry this name and only one is in Sydney. Search for a demolition contractor here and a good share of what comes back is Cheltenham in Victoria or Cheltenham in Gloucestershire, including firms quoting in pounds. Ours is the Sydney one, in postcode 2119, and the rules that govern a knockdown are New South Wales rules: a licence issued in this state, SafeWork NSW oversight, Australian Standard 2601-2001 on site, and waste to EPA approved facilities here.
Measured by land area, 96.8% of Cheltenham sits inside Hornsby Shire Council. The other 3.2% falls inside the City of Parramatta. Most owners here are right when they assume Hornsby, but it stays an assumption until the address is checked against the boundary, and two authorities means two local environmental plans and two registers.
The postcode will not settle it either: 2119 covers Beecroft as well, and Beecroft’s own council split is far more even.

New South Wales gives a demolition two ways through. A Complying Development Certificate is issued by an accredited private certifier against a fixed set of state standards, with nothing weighed on merit. A Development Application goes to the council instead, which assesses it on its merits, notifies whoever has to be notified, and decides.
Around the Hornsby suburbs the pattern is consistent. A standalone knockdown of a single dwelling on a compliant lot commonly registers as complying development, while anything carrying a dual occupancy or a subdivision goes to merit assessment. Heritage, a conservation area or a lot sitting outside the standards closes the certificate route too. Across the New South Wales jurisdictions measured recently, complying development took between 50% and 65% of demolition approvals, so the certifier route is no longer the unusual one.
Approvals are where a demolition usually stalls. All of this sits inside the contract:
You sign what we put in front of you and we lodge the rest.
A full knockdown ahead of a rebuild takes the house, garage, shed, carport, paving, footings and slab, with the pool filled in or dug out. Partial work is just as common: a rear addition taken off, a garage removed, internal walls stripped while the family stays in the front.
Asbestos comes out on the same contract through our asbestos removal service rather than going to a second trade, with an independent clearance certificate before sign off. Shop and office work runs through our commercial demolition service.
There is no honest figure to give you over the phone, and a rate per square metre is a guess with a unit attached. What moves the number is what is standing, what is inside the walls, machine access, and what the approvals require. So we look first. The written quote itemises the work and the approvals it covers, no hidden fees or variations follow, and we will beat any written quote you hold.
The same plant and crews cover the rest of what we take on across Northern Sydney. Nearby suburbs:
The Sydney one, postcode 2119. Worth confirming with anyone you call, because the results for this suburb name are a mess of interstate and overseas listings.
Almost certainly complying development. That certificate comes from a private certifier, not a council planner, so a job can be approved without ever reaching a council officer’s desk.
Yes, that is ordinary partial demolition work. Scope is set at the site visit, the retained structure is propped and protected, and services stay live to the part of the house you are still in.
Usually. We own our machines and the truck that floats them, so access is worked out on the day we walk the site.
By checking the register against your address, not by taking anyone’s word for it. Mapping layers and campaign material can tell you a suburb contains listed items without telling you which property is one, and that difference decides your approval route.
