DA Notice acknowledges the Darkinjung people, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which Koolewong stands, and pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging.

● Local knowledge

Koolewong sits on the water between Tascott and Woy Woy, steep bushland blocks off narrow roads. It was the heart of the December 2025 bushfire that destroyed more than a dozen homes across the bays, so this is rebuild country right now: fire-recovery construction on some of the Coast's tightest, most scenic sites.

● What the data says

Koolewong runs renovation / extension first, with swimming pool / spa (12) close behind: renovation / extension leads at 21 of 59 DAs on record. A Premium-tier market on a $945k median, a typical job runs $86k, approvals are up 500% year on year.
