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

● Local knowledge

Matcham is Holgate's twin in character: sprawling leafy acreage, horses and hobby blocks, homes set well back from the road. Development is rare but substantial, the kind of custom rural build that runs every trade for months.

● What the data says

Matcham runs swimming pool / spa first, with renovation / extension (41) close behind: swimming pool / spa leads at 50 of 164 DAs on record. A Prestige-tier market, a typical job runs $189k, approvals are down 16% year on year.
