The first thing a demolition in St Leonards needs settled is not the machine or the price. It is which of three councils assesses your address. Lane Cove Municipal Council covers the largest share of it, measured across every address point in the suburb. North Sydney Council holds most of what is left, and Willoughby City Council the remainder. Pacific Highway runs through all three. Tell us the street and number and we will confirm the authority before anything is priced. Call 0455 888 819.
Super Demolition carries out licensed demolition in St Leonards: house and garage knockdowns, commercial and office strip-outs, asbestos removal and site clearing. Which council assesses the work depends on the street, so we settle that first and lodge the approval for you. We hold a Demolition Licence and an Asbestos Removal Licence and work to Australian Standard 2601-2001. Site assessments and written quotes are free.
St Leonards sits in postcode 2065, shared with Crows Nest, Greenwich, Naremburn and Wollstonecraft. It cannot tell you who assesses a demolition, because the suburb inside it answers to three separate authorities.
The split shows up street by street. Berry Road and River Road sit with Lane Cove; Atchison Street and Albany Street with North Sydney; Herbert Street and Sergeants Lane with Willoughby. Pacific Highway carries all three along its length, the low and middle numbers with Lane Cove, a stretch in the 200s with Willoughby, the high numbers with North Sydney. Christie Street divides three ways on its own. Chandos Street divides down the middle of the road, odd numbers to North Sydney and even numbers to Willoughby.
That means three local environmental plans and three registers, and an application filed with the wrong one comes back while the block sits.
Super Demolition is family owned and managed. Jack owns it and is usually the one who walks the site with you, with over 30 years of experience behind him. For a St Leonards job you can ask to see:
The full credentials, and the order a house comes off a block, sit with our residential demolition service. We take demolition, asbestos and excavation work across Northern Sydney, and St Leonards is part of that.
Site assessments and written quotes cost nothing, and every enquiry gets a response within 24 hours. Call 0455 888 819 to book a time on site.
What your job looks like depends on which side of those boundaries the building stands. The public planning record from 2018 to 2023 reads differently on each.
On the Lane Cove side the work is residential and mixed-use at scale: dwellings on streets such as Canberra Avenue and Berry Road cleared in groups for apartment buildings. The North Sydney stretch of Christie Street is commercial, older buildings coming down for taller mixed-use ones, with facade steel and cladding stripped off a building on Atchison Street. The Willoughby side is almost entirely internal: office and retail tenancies on Pacific Highway and Chandos Street stripped back to the shell, workstations, joinery, partition walls and ceilings included, and every one of them approved by a private certifier rather than the council.
That changes who you deal with and what the people around you are told. A floor-by-floor tenancy strip-out is our commercial demolition service, staged so the businesses either side of you keep trading.
NSW gives a demolition two routes. A Complying Development Certificate is issued by a private certifier against a fixed set of standards, with nothing weighed on merit: meet every standard in the code and the certificate can issue. A Development Application goes to the council instead, which assesses the proposal on its merits, notifies neighbours where the controls require it, and can approve with conditions or refuse.
Which route is open to you follows the land and the scope, never preference. Zoning, heritage listing and conservation mapping open or close the complying development path, and here they are set by three different local environmental plans. Scope matters as much: a standalone demolition often qualifies, while one tied to a subdivision or a second dwelling is usually assessed on merit.
Approvals are where a demolition stalls, and the part an owner or tenant is otherwise left to chase. We run the list as part of the contract:
Demolition is priced on the building rather than by the square metre, so we look before we quote. What moves the number is what the structure is made of, whether asbestos is present, how machines and trucks reach the site, how much has to stay standing, and how much material leaves. Tight access is our own specialty, and we own our machinery rather than hiring it in.
The written quote itemises the work, the approvals and the disposal. No hidden fees, no variations afterwards, and if you already hold a written quote from someone else, we will beat it.
Addresses on the Lane Cove side are assessed the same way as demolition in Lane Cove, demolition in Lane Cove North and demolition in Lane Cove West, and so is demolition in Greenwich, which shares both the postcode and the council.
Whichever one your street sits in: Lane Cove Municipal Council covers 47.3% of the suburb by land area, North Sydney Council 29.6% and Willoughby City Council 23.2%. The postcode will not settle it. Send the street and number and we will confirm it against the boundary first.
By the number. The odd side is North Sydney and the even side Willoughby, so two buildings facing each other across the road are assessed under different plans. We check the number, never the street name on its own.
The approval route is often the simpler one, because a fit-out removal that meets the standards can go through a private certifier. The rest still applies: lawful disposal with dockets, and any asbestos in ceilings or vinyl removed under licence with an independent clearance certificate before the floor is handed back.
