Super Demolition carries out demolition Inner West Sydney-wide under a current Demolition Licence and a current Asbestos Removal Licence: house and garage knockdowns, partial demolition, commercial strip-outs and asbestos removal. Four councils assess demolition across this region, so there is no single approval answer. The site assessment and the written quote cost nothing, and every enquiry gets an answer within 24 hours.
There is more than one Inner West, and the authorities disagree. This page uses the Australian Bureau of Statistics boundary, which covers four councils: Inner West Council, Burwood Council, the City of Canada Bay and Strathfield Municipal Council. Twenty one of the suburbs we work in sit inside it, thirteen in Canada Bay. NSW Health draws it wider, its Sydney Local Health District reaching into parts of the City of Sydney and Canterbury Bankstown.
And one authority contradicts the name outright: in NSW planning law there is no Inner West district. The Environmental Planning and Assessment (Greater Sydney Region Districts) Order 2017 places Inner West Council in the Eastern City District, alongside Burwood, Canada Bay, Strathfield, Bayside, Randwick, Waverley, Woollahra and the City of Sydney. On the statutory map the Inner West and the city centre are the same planning district, not different ones.
So Inner West Sydney is a real place, not a jurisdiction: no postcode of its own, no single consent authority. The council your street number falls in decides your demolition.
Jack owns the business and usually walks the block with you himself. Super Demolition is family owned and managed, with over 30 years of experience behind the work. Our rating is 5.0 from 84 reviews. Before accepting any quote, ours included, ask to see a current Demolition Licence and a current Asbestos Removal Licence, and confirm that staff and contractors comply with WorkCover requirements to AS 2601-2001. We work across Greater Sydney, and these four councils are a core part of it.

There are two approval routes in NSW. A complying development certificate is issued by a private certifier against a fixed code: the land and the proposal either meet every standard or they do not, and nothing is weighed up. A development application goes to your council, which assesses it on merit, notifies affected neighbours, and can approve with conditions or refuse.
Which route is realistic is a council question, not a regional one. In the Inner West Council area the certificate is the exception and most demolitions are assessed on merit. In Canada Bay and Burwood it is the majority route, with Strathfield between. The odds are not the same in any two of these councils.
What closes the certificate route most often is heritage conservation mapping, and there is no single Inner West map to check: each council maps its own under its own local environmental plan. Inner West Council maps 112 conservation areas under the Inner West Local Environmental Plan 2022. The City of Canada Bay maps 26. Burwood maps 21 and Strathfield 18. Those counts come off the NSW heritage mapping layer, and they are why the answer changes at a boundary.
Your own block still decides your case: a standalone knockdown on unconstrained land commonly qualifies, while a demolition tied to a dual occupancy or a subdivision generally does not. Wherever that route is open, a private certifier issues the certificate, not the council.
A full knockdown takes the house, garage, sheds, fencing, paving and slab. A partial demolition takes a rear wing or an upper level and leaves the rest braced and standing. A strip-out is staged so the tenancies either side keep trading. The price then turns on what the building is made of, whether asbestos is in it, how a machine and a truck reach the block, how much can be recycled instead of tipped, and which approval route the land is on, because lodging that is work too. A square metre rate hides all of it, which is why we will not price a job over the phone.
The written quote itemises works, approvals and disposal, and that figure is what you pay: no hidden fees, no variations. Bring us another contractor’s written quote and we will beat it.
None of this is yours to chase:
Yes. Canada Bay sits inside the Inner West on the boundary this page uses, and it holds more of our Inner West suburbs than any other council. Same team, same licences.
No, and that catches people out. Each council maps its own conservation areas under its own local environmental plan, so a mapped block and an unmapped one can be streets apart. Send us the street and number and we will check yours.
We will not rank the councils for you. The mapping runs block by block, not suburb by suburb, and an obliging council is no help on a constrained lot. Send the addresses and we will tell you what each faces.
Both are real and they do different work. The district is a strategic planning grouping made under an order of 2017, putting these councils in with the city centre and the eastern suburbs. It assesses nothing. Your demolition is decided by your own council under its own local environmental plan, the only boundary that changes your paperwork.

What a page at this level can usefully do is stop you assuming that a friend’s demolition three suburbs away tells you anything about your block. Across these four councils it very often does not. Send us the street and number, and the route, the asbestos position and the written price come together. Call 0455 888 819 or email info@superdemolition.com.au.
