CANADA BAY COUNCIL • SYDNEY • NSW
CANADA BAY TOWN PLANNING
The City of Canada Bay has a diverse urban development environment, combining established residential neighbourhoods, waterfront communities, apartment precincts, commercial centres and areas of significant heritage character across Sydney’s Inner West.
Development across the area can involve a broad range of planning considerations, from alterations and additions, new homes and residential redevelopment through to apartment development, commercial projects, heritage works and development on constrained or waterfront sites.

DEVELOPING IN CANADA BAY
Development within the City of Canada Bay is influenced by a combination of local planning controls, established neighbourhood character, increasing residential density, heritage considerations and the area’s extensive waterfront setting.
Depending on the location and nature of the proposal, development may require consideration of zoning, building height and floor space ratio, setbacks, landscaped area, heritage, privacy and overlooking, traffic and parking, flooding and stormwater, foreshore considerations and the relationship between new development and surrounding properties.
Understanding these considerations early can help identify potential planning issues, inform the design process and establish a clearer pathway for a Development Application.
Some of the issues we regularly consider include:
LOCAL EXPERIENCE. BEST RESULTS
The City of Canada Bay has a diverse and established development environment, with residential neighbourhoods, waterfront communities, apartment precincts, commercial centres and heritage areas creating a range of planning opportunities and constraints. This diversity makes experienced planning advice particularly valuable.

Experience across residential subdivision, medium-density housing, commercial and industrial development and projects within rapidly growing areas of Western Sydney.
HERITAGE PLANNING
The City of Canada Bay contains a diverse range of heritage-listed properties and places reflecting the area’s Aboriginal, colonial, industrial and residential history, together with established streetscapes and waterfront communities.
We prepare Heritage Impact Statements and provide practical heritage advice for alterations and additions, new development and other works affecting heritage items and properties with identified heritage significance.
