DEVELOPING IN GEORGES RIVER
Development within the Georges River Council area is influenced by a combination of local planning controls, heritage considerations, environmental constraints and established neighbourhood character.
While the former Hurstville and Kogarah Councils amalgamated to form Georges River Council in 2016, development is still assessed under a combination of planning controls that originated from the former councils. Understanding which Local Environmental Plan, Development Control Plan and supporting policies apply to your site is often critical to preparing a successful Development Application.
Some of the planning issues we regularly assess include:
LOCAL KNOWLEDGE. PRACTICAL ADVICE.
The Georges River Council area brings together the former Hurstville and Kogarah Council areas, each with its own planning history, established neighbourhoods and development character. Understanding this local context can be invaluable when navigating planning controls and preparing a Development Application.
Our experience within the area extends back to the former Hurstville and Kogarah Councils, giving us an understanding of the area’s planning history and the way development controls and assessment expectations have evolved over time.

The Georges River Council area contains a diverse range of heritage-listed properties and Heritage Conservation Areas, reflecting the area’s residential, commercial and civic history.
