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

● Local knowledge

Somersby is the working plateau up top: horse people, farms and a bit of agriculture, wedding venues tucked in the green, and a small-industrial edge. Low volume but varied, a rural shed or home one minute and a commercial or industrial job the next.

● What the data says

Somersby runs renovation / extension first, with new dwelling (59) close behind: renovation / extension leads at 61 of 230 DAs on record. A Prestige-tier market on a $1.55M median, a typical job runs $283k, approvals are down 11% year on year.

Renovate-and-stay

27% of approvals are alterations and additions, so the work here is improving homes, not replacing them, your customer is a settled owner-occupier.

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 $283k approval is about 18% of the $1.55M median home, these are substantial transformations, not cosmetic touch-ups.
