DA Notice acknowledges the Darkinjung people, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which Bushells Ridge stands, and pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging.
● What the data says
Bushells Ridge runs demolition first, with commercial / change of use (2) close behind: demolition leads at 2 of 7 DAs on record. A Premium-tier market on a $800k median, a typical job runs $2.7M.
29% of approvals are dual-occupancy, subdivision or granny flats, above the 16% coast norm, so a real share of the work is yield-driven, developers and landlords, not just homeowners.
Rebuild market
29% of approvals are new builds or demolitions, so knock-down-rebuild is a genuine slice here, not just extensions.
Big-ticket jobs
the typical $2.7M approval is about 337% of the $800k median home, these are substantial transformations, not cosmetic touch-ups.
