Start with the scope, not the contractor. A house taken to a bare block, a rear wing removed while the front stays put, and a shop stripped back to its shell are three different jobs on three different approval routes. Super Demolition does demolition in Balmain across all three: family owned and managed, over 30 years of experience, a current Demolition Licence and a current Asbestos Removal Licence. Tell us what has to go and we will answer within 24 hours.
Super Demolition carries out demolition in Balmain under a current Demolition Licence and Asbestos Removal Licence: house and garage knockdowns, partial demolition of attached and detached homes, commercial strip-outs and licensed asbestos removal. Inner West Council is the consent authority for every Balmain address, in postcode 2041. Site assessments and written quotes are free.
A full demolition takes the house and everything around it: garage, sheds, fencing, paving and the slab underneath, so the land is handed over ready to build on.
A partial demolition is the harder brief. Part of the building goes and the rest has to survive intact: propping, weather protection on newly exposed walls, and a sequence worked from the top down rather than from the easiest side in.
A strip-out is the commercial version: fittings, linings, services and partitions out, structure left alone, which is what our commercial demolition service is built around. Asbestos found behind the linings does not become somebody else’s contract. It comes out under our own licence, and our asbestos removal service sets out how it is documented.
Every Balmain address carries postcode 2041, and every one is assessed by Inner West Council. No boundary to establish first, no second register to search. What does have to be established is which of the two NSW approval routes your job is eligible for, and that turns on the land and the scope together, not on how simple it looks from the street.
A complying development certificate is issued by a private certifier against a fixed code. Nothing is weighed up: the land and the proposal either satisfy every standard in it or the route is closed. A development application goes to Inner West Council instead, which assesses it on merit, notifies neighbours where the controls require it, and can approve with conditions or refuse.
Here the merit route is the normal one. Across the Inner West local government area, 31.8% of the land is mapped as heritage conservation area, and demolition on that land cannot use the certificate pathway. Of the Sydney councils measured, Inner West records the lowest share of demolition approvals issued as complying development, at 15.2%. An owner in the Ryde council area sits at 79.2%. Where the certificate route does open here, a private certifier issues it in 92.2% of cases.
Scope can shut the fast route on its own. A standalone knockdown is the usual certificate candidate; attach a dual occupancy or a subdivision and it goes to merit assessment regardless of the mapping.

None of this is left with the owner to chase:
Not every Balmain job stands on its own footprint. Where a building is attached to its neighbour, or built hard against a boundary, the demolition is two pieces of work at once: taking your side down, and leaving theirs standing, dry and supported. That changes the sequence, the plant that can be used, and the notices that go out first.
Access decides method the same way. Where a truck and an excavator cannot sit beside the building, material has to be broken down smaller and carried further, and the set-up starts to weigh more than the structure. We look at both on the assessment visit.
The works, the approvals and the disposal, itemised, with no hidden fees and no variations added later. It is issued after someone has stood on the property, because that is the only point at which construction type, asbestos risk, access and disposal volume are all known. We publish no rate and no square metre figure. Hold a written quote from another contractor and we will beat it.
We take demolition, excavation and asbestos work across Inner West Sydney, including:
On quote, and only once the property has been inspected. Two houses of the same floor area can price nothing alike once asbestos, access and disposal are counted.
Yes. Removing part of a building is still demolition for approval purposes, and on constrained land it is often the only version approved at all.
Owning it does not exempt it from consent, and most of what follows is licensed work: structural demolition, friable asbestos in every case, bonded asbestos beyond the quantity SafeWork NSW allows, and the electricity and gas disconnections.
They sit alongside demolition searches for this suburb, and neither is a planning question. Nothing in local history changes what your land is mapped as or which route your scope qualifies for.

Two demolitions on the same Balmain street can be priced nothing alike, because one is taking a whole building away and the other has to leave a wall standing that the house next door depends on. Call 0455 888 819 or email info@superdemolition.com.au with the street number and a sentence on what you want gone. We will tell you which of those you have, which approval route it qualifies for, and what it costs in writing.
