You have a house to bring down in Castle Hill and a builder waiting on a level block. The first question is not which machine turns up. It is which council assesses the job, because two of them cover this suburb: The Hills Shire Council over most of it, and Hornsby Shire Council over the 11.68% of its land area on the eastern edge. Your street number decides which one, and the postcode will not tell you. We check that against your address before we price the demolition, so the application goes to the right counter the first time.
Super Demolition is a family owned demolition contractor covering Castle Hill and the wider Hills district. We hold a current Demolition Licence and Asbestos Removal Licence, and work to Australian Standard 2601-2001 under NSW WorkCover requirements. Houses, garages, pools, slabs and commercial fitouts come down, and the council or certifier approval is handled as part of the job.
Castle Hill sits in postcode 2154, and that part is simple. The council boundary is not. The Hills Shire Council is the consent authority for most of the suburb, while Hornsby Shire Council covers 11.68% of Castle Hill’s land area, measured against the suburb boundary rather than counted by address. Two authorities means two registers, two local environmental plans and two sets of lodgement requirements.
An application filed with the wrong council comes back, and the block sits while it is redone. So we confirm the authority against your property address first.
NSW gives you two ways to get a demolition approved. The difference decides who assesses your job, not whether the work is allowed.
A Complying Development Certificate is issued by a private certifier. It applies when the proposal meets the planning standards in full, with nothing left to judgement. A knockdown of a single dwelling on a compliant lot is the usual candidate, and that is now the common route.
A Development Application goes to the council and is assessed on merit. Anything outside the prescribed standards lands here: a dual occupancy or subdivision attached to the demolition, a heritage item or conservation area, or a lot carrying environmental or bushfire constraints. In Castle Hill it goes to The Hills Shire Council or Hornsby Shire Council depending on the address.
Eligibility follows the property and the scope, never preference. We check both at the site assessment and tell you which route yours qualifies for.
Jack owns Super Demolition and usually comes out to look at your property himself. The business is family owned and managed, with over 30 years of experience in demolition, excavation and asbestos work behind it. On paper, for a Castle Hill job:
Full credentials, insurance details and memberships sit with our residential demolition service, and you can ask to see any of it before accepting a quote. Site assessments and written quotes are free with no obligation, and every enquiry gets a response within 24 hours. Call 0455 888 819 and we will arrange a time to walk the block.
On a knockdown rebuild the house goes, along with the garages, sheds, carports, pergolas, fencing, driveways, paving, footings and slab. Pools are filled in or dug out, rubble carted off, the block handed back level for your builder. Renovations are the other half of the work here: partial demolition and strip-outs that take out one wing, one storey or the internals while the rest of the house stays standing.
For a shop, office or warehouse in Castle Hill, our commercial demolition service covers strip-outs, fitout removal and structural work, staged so the tenancies either side of you keep trading. If fibro sheeting, eaves or old vinyl tiles appear once the linings come off, that becomes licensed work, covered by our asbestos removal service on the same contract, not passed to a separate crew.
No demolition in NSW starts on a handshake. It has to be approved, the council and neighbours told, and every service into the building disconnected. We run that list for you:
Your part is signing. Ours is lodging it, chasing it, and telling you as each piece clears.
Nobody can give an honest figure over the phone, and a rate per square metre is the least reliable version of that guess. Price moves on the size and construction of the building, whether asbestos is present, the paved area, machine and truck access, and how much material can be recycled.
So we look first and price after. The assessment and the written quote are free with no obligation, and the quote itemises the work, the approvals and the timeline. That is the figure you pay: no hidden fees, no variations later. If you already hold a written quote, we will beat it.
We also cover demolition in Kellyville, demolition in Baulkham Hills, demolition in West Pennant Hills, itself split between The Hills Shire and Hornsby, and demolition in Cherrybrook, which answers to Hornsby Shire Council. All of them sit among the areas we work across Western Sydney.
There is no reliable per square metre rate, which is why we do not publish one. Price follows the building and the site, so we assess it in person and quote it in writing, free and with no obligation.
It depends where the property sits. The Hills Shire Council assesses most of Castle Hill, and Hornsby Shire Council covers 11.68% of the suburb by land area along its eastern side. Give us the street address and we will confirm it.
A certifier can issue a Complying Development Certificate when the work meets the planning standards in full, which a single dwelling knockdown often does. Anything with a subdivision, a dual occupancy, a heritage listing or an environmental constraint attached is assessed on merit by the council.
It is removed under licence and never mixed into general demolition waste. We hold a current Asbestos Removal Licence, remove and cart the material with our own crews, and arrange an independent clearance certificate before the site is signed off.
