Standard single-storey: 5–10 working days. Double-storey: 10–15 working days. Timing includes SafeWork NSW notifications (5+ working days for asbestos work) and neighbour notifications where required by council.

Most Newcastle demolitions need either a Complying Development Certificate (CDC) via a private certifier or a Development Application (DA) via council. Heritage-listed properties or conservation-area sites usually need a DA. We can guide you to the right pathway.
