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

● Local knowledge

Springfield is a lower-end pocket in the Gosford basin: older, tired housing stock and the everyday churn of repairs, additions and the odd rebuild. Not the pretty end of town, but steady, high-volume work for trades who keep busy.

● What the data says

Springfield runs renovation / extension first, with swimming pool / spa (53) close behind: renovation / extension leads at 54 of 208 DAs on record. A Premium-tier market on a $864k median, a typical job runs $93k, approvals are up 3% year on year.

Renovate-and-stay

26% 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

28% of approvals are new builds or demolitions, so knock-down-rebuild is a genuine slice here, not just extensions.

Big-ticket jobs

the typical $93k approval is about 11% of the $864k median home, these are substantial transformations, not cosmetic touch-ups.
