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

● Local knowledge

The Entrance sits in the Central Coast Council area, where the work moves in waves: knock-down-rebuilds stepping back from the water, older fibro going up a second storey, the steady churn of holiday-let renos. By the time a job is visible from the street, three other trades have already quoted it. DA Notice gets you there first.

● What the data says

The Entrance runs demolition first, with dual occupancy / multi (54) close behind: demolition leads at 64 of 268 DAs on record. A Value-tier market on a $620k median, a typical job runs $175k, approvals are up 2% year on year.

Investor-active

34% 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 $175k approval is about 28% of the $620k median home, these are substantial transformations, not cosmetic touch-ups.
