Demolition Harris Park

Demolition in Harris Park is handled end to end by Super Demolition, a family owned contractor holding a current Demolition Licence and a current Asbestos Removal Licence. We take house knockdowns, partial demolition, office and shop strip-outs, excavation, asbestos removal and site clearing, work to Australian Standard 2601-2001 under NSW WorkCover requirements, and lodge with City of Parramatta Council, the consent authority for every address here.

That is the easy half. The harder half is that little of what comes down here is a whole building.

Two applications anyone can find, and neither is a plain knockdown

At 110 Harris Street the approved scope covers demolition of rear additions, excavation for basement parking, and two new levels of office space. PlanningAlerts carries it as application 3216579, dated October 2024.

The second is bigger. A site at 24 Parkes Street sits on the NSW Planning Portal’s major projects list: demolition of the existing structure, then a mixed use commercial and residential tower of 271 dwellings. Of those, 41 are affordable. No date is attached.

Neither job is ours. Work here is more often a piece of a building than the whole of it, so we ask what is staying before we ask what is going. Every address sits with City of Parramatta Council, with no second council and no boundary to settle. The postcode is 2150, which describes a mail run rather than a consent authority.

How these get approved, and what the Parramatta record shows

A Complying Development Certificate is issued by a private certifier against fixed standards, which the land and the proposal either meet in full or do not. A Development Application goes to City of Parramatta Council and is weighed on merit: a subdivision or dual occupancy, a heritage item, a conservation area or contaminated land all end up there.

Of the City of Parramatta applications PlanningAlerts returned in its latest window, 155 of 556 were worded for demolition. That window runs early June to early August 2026 and only reaches back so far, so it is a snapshot rather than a history. Certificates outnumbered council applications at 67.2%, and modifications of consents already granted made up 19.4%, so some of what looks like fresh activity is churn.

What closes the certificate route is what the planning maps say about your land. In councils around here, demolition inside a heritage conservation area goes to merit assessment while the certificate route survives on unconstrained land. No conservation area is mapped over this suburb, and the instrument in force is the Parramatta Local Environmental Plan 2023.

30+Years Experience

Over thirty years on, Super Demolition is still a family business

Jack owns Super Demolition and usually comes out to look at the building himself. It is family owned and managed, with over 30 years of demolition, excavation and asbestos work behind it. It holds a 5.0 rating from 84 reviews.

Two licences carry this work: a current Demolition Licence and a current Asbestos Removal Licence. Our staff and contractors meet WorkCover requirements to Australian Standard 2601-2001, and your Work Method Statement is built on it. The rest of the credentials sit with our residential demolition service.

The site assessment and the written quote are free and commit you to nothing, and every enquiry is answered within 24 hours. Call 0455 888 819.

Whole buildings, rear additions and everything under them

A full knockdown takes the house and everything around it: garage, sheds, carports, fencing, driveways, paving and the slab, with pools filled or dug out and the block handed back level.

Partial demolition is the other half of the work here. Taking a rear wing off a building that stays standing, or digging out underneath it, is a sequence job: what stays has to be supported and kept dry while what goes comes out. The excavation is on the same contract.

Shops, offices and warehouses come apart around the tenancies either side, which is what our commercial demolition service is for. Where older linings or sheds hold bonded sheeting, it comes out under licence, not into the general waste, and our asbestos removal service covers it.

The filing and the switching off, all on our side of the job

None of this lands on the owner:

  • The certificate through a private certifier, or the application to City of Parramatta Council
  • Council notification, and written notice to the neighbours affected
  • WorkCover approval and a Work Method Statement written for your address
  • Dial Before You Dig plans before anything breaks ground
  • Electrical, gas, phone and internet disconnections
  • EPA approved NSW disposal and recycling, with tipping dockets returned to you
  • The demolition clearance certificate your certifier and builder will ask for

The only part that needs you is a signature. The same crews and paperwork cover demolition in North Parramatta and demolition in South Parramatta under this council, along with demolition in Ermington, and we work across Western Sydney.

The written quote, and why it never starts from a price list

Nobody can price a demolition honestly over the phone, and a rate per square metre is the least reliable version of that guess. Two buildings with the same floor area come apart very differently.

What moves the number: construction type, how much of the building is staying, asbestos, paved area, truck access, and how much can be recycled instead of tipped. Add the spoil where there is excavation underneath.

The assessment is free, and the quote is written and itemised across the works, the approvals and the disposal. That is the figure you pay: no hidden fees, no variations. Bring a written quote from another contractor and we will beat it.

Four questions we answer on nearly every Harris Park call

Everything approved near us is offices and apartments. Do you still take on a single house?

Yes. Bigger buildings dominate the public record because that is the work published with an address. A house, a garage or a pool runs on the same licences and routes.

We already hold a consent and the demolition scope has changed since. Does that go back to council?

Usually, as a modification of the consent you hold rather than a fresh application. Send us the consent and a note of what changed, and we will tell you which document it belongs in.

Can you give us a start date before the approval comes through?

We can give you the order of events, not a date. Assessment, quote and lodgement happen while your drawings are finished, but machines are booked once the approval is in hand.

Someone in a local group said the old cottages on Ada Street are heritage listed. Should that worry us?

Not on its own. A remark in a comment thread is not a listing: a listing sits in the planning instrument covering the suburb and attaches to a named property. It is also one of the few things that shuts the certificate route, so we check yours.
