Demolition Tennyson Point: one council, and a road that leaves the suburb

Every demolition Tennyson Point owners lodge is assessed by Ryde Council, with no boundary to settle first. Super Demolition clears whole blocks here, takes out garages, pools and slabs and strips out tenancies, under a current Demolition Licence and a current Asbestos Removal Licence, to Australian Standard 2601-2001. The site assessment costs nothing, and neither does the quote.

Every enquiry is answered within 24 hours. Send a street number and someone will book a time to walk the property, on 0455 888 819.

One council file, the knockdown first and the new dwellings after

How a demolition runs here is clearest at one Champion Road address. That council file opened with a complying development certificate for the demolition of the existing structures. The certificate for what replaces them, a dual occupancy with a basement and pool, followed under the same file number.

The order is ordinary here. On the complying development and development application registers Ryde Council publishes to the NSW planning portal, thirty-six records carry a demolition component for Tennyson Point. Twenty-four are certificates issued by private certifiers; the other twelve went to the council on merit. Nine describe demolition alone, and the rest arrive attached to a dwelling house, a dual occupancy or a subdivision.

The road out the front does not prove which suburb you are in

Tennyson Road is why we check an address, not a street name. Inside this postcode it runs through Gladesville too, and the Ryde records hold Tennyson Road addresses under both suburb names. Further along it crosses into Mortlake and Concord, a different postcode under a different council, their files held by the City of Canada Bay. So we match on the suburb on the record, never the road.

Twelve records here sit on Tennyson Road, every one carrying Tennyson Point in its address line. Champion Road carries another twelve, and the rest sit on Bayview Street, Kemp Street, Beach Street, Teemer Street and Morrison Road.

Postcode 2111 covers Tennyson Point along with Gladesville, Henley, Huntleys Cove and Huntleys Point, and those names do not all answer to one authority; every address point here sits inside Ryde.

Which route your block qualifies for, and what would close it

A complying development certificate is issued by a private certifier against a fixed state code. Nothing is weighed up: the land and the proposal meet every standard in it, or they do not. Anything outside it becomes a development application, which Ryde Council assesses on merit and may approve with conditions, or refuse.

The land and the whole proposal decide which you get, not how straightforward the knockdown looks. Tennyson Point has no conservation area over it, and conservation mapping is the layer that most often shuts the certificate route, which is why the certificate is the ordinary outcome here. Individual heritage items are still on the council’s schedule at particular addresses, so we check yours.

Scope decides the rest. Most of the suburb is low density residential, and the standards a certifier applies are written around what goes back. The newest file in front of the council rather than a certifier is the one proposing a three storey dwelling, taller than the code allows.

The forms lodged, the notices served and the services cut off

  • The certificate through a private certifier, or the development application to Ryde Council
  • Council notification, and written notice to the neighbours the controls require
  • WorkCover approval and a Work Method Statement for your address
  • Dial Before You Dig plans before anything breaks ground
  • Electrical, gas and phone or internet disconnections
  • Asbestos removed under licence, with EPA approved NSW disposal
  • The demolition clearance certificate at sign off

Priced on what is standing, not on what replaces it

An approval for the new dwellings says nothing about what it takes to clear the ground for them. What moves that figure is what the building is made of, whether asbestos is in it, how an excavator and a truck reach the frontage, and how much material leaves. None of it shows in a suburb name, so somebody stands on the block first, for nothing.

The written quote itemises the demolition, the approvals and the disposal, with no hidden fees and no variations once accepted. Hold another contractor’s written quote and we will beat it.

The rest of this council’s area, and the region around it

The same crews and licences travel across Northern Sydney. A demolition in Putney goes to the same council, though its postcode differs and the approval route there has changed hands. A demolition in East Ryde turns on the mapping under the block, and a demolition in Denistone East more often clears the way for units than one house.

What Tennyson Point owners ask before anything is lodged

Does your demolition licence cover the excavation that follows the knockdown?

Yes, and usually the same crew on the same visit. Footings, slab and the dig for a basement or pool are ours, so the ground is handed over at the level your builder needs.

We are the neighbours being notified about a demolition next door, not the ones lodging it. What should we expect to see?

Written notice naming the property and what is proposed. On the council route the file is exhibited and you have a period to make a submission; through a certifier there is none, because that route is a pass or fail test rather than a judgement. Either way a work method statement sets out how the structure comes down, and you may ask for the parts touching your boundary.

A knockdown near us and the two dwellings that replaced it came out under one council file number. Is that how it normally runs here?

It is the ordinary sequence here, not a special arrangement. Where the demolition and the rebuild go through the same certifier for the same owner, they are commonly tracked under one reference, the second numbered off the first. Both can be prepared together, though only the first must be determined before we start.
